THE NAME AND ARTWORK
The name Sombra is Spanish for ‘the Shadow’ and we think it fairly describes this most authentic spirit’s place within that of the commercial and mass-produced Tequila that dominates the agave spirit market. The art on the inside of the label is a kaleidoscope of body parts cut from Mexican soft-core pornographic comic books, and was created by WKRP Inc, a collaboration of three artists from Colorado and California. Unfortunately the TTB wasn’t amused (surprising, right?) and thus demanded that we edit out the detailed body parts, leaving only the general pattern.
