The [limited-edition OAX Original](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limited-edition-mezcal) sets itself apart with [intricately sculpted ceramic bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistry-in-oak) that offer a unique alternative to glass. The artful bottles have the potential to be displayed within the home as decorative pieces or repurposed as different kinds of vessels. Each type of [mezcal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/contraluz-cristalino-mezcal) has its own colored bottle that represents the essence of the liquid inside. While Arroqueño is a smoky spirit that's packaged in a gray bottle, Tepeztate comes in a coral-colored bottle and Tobalá, which comes in a white bottle, is described as having a silky taste with notes that are sweet, herbaceous and floral.
