“KAH” translates to “life” in the ancient Mayan language, and Day of the Dead, Día de los Muertos, in fact, is a celebration of lives lived.
The multi-day festival brings together family and friends to pray for and remember those they have lost. The customs are based on the belief that mourning and sadness are an insult to the deceased, and therefore, the lives they lived should be celebrated with the food, drink and activities they enjoyed while still alive.
The design of the KAH Blanco bottle is inspired by the Bolivian tradition of the Day of the Dead celebration in which actual skulls of loved ones are kept and brought out on November 8th of each year. After taking the skull to the cemetery, the skull is symbolically fed and given tequila, sometimes even cigarettes. Bolivians believe that this act immortalizes the dead who, in turn, help to protect the living from evil spirits.
KAH’s distillers transform hand-harvested 100% blue Weber agave into lively Blanco, Reposado, and Añejo expressions.
