The ENIGMA Brand was inspired by the Enigma Machine, the 20th century cipher device used by the Axis side during World War 2 for sending military and diplomatic communications.
As a further nod to this, Smooth Spirits took a Enigma simulator and coded words for “ENIGMA, SECRET and SMOOTH SPIRITS”. These are the embossed letters on the bottle. Some say, the cracking of the Code was responsible for the Allied victory and saving countless lives.
While cracking the Code, the intelligence gathered was named “Ultra”. They wanted a Secretive, Mysterious brand execution with a packaging design and liquid that had an Ultra Premium vibe.
Black Glass became popular during the 1940s. And Smooth Spirits wanted to capture the Mid Century Modern (MCM) design influence of the period. The MCM design aesthetic from this era is modern in style and construction, aligned with the Modernist movement of the period.
