THE FRENCH REVOLUTION
Our namesake is the legendary poet and iconoclast François Villon (born in 1431), who penned some of France’s most enduring works before disappearing in the late 15th century. The poet’s enigmatic views and tumultuous lifestyle are still evocative and modern, centuries after his death, date and place unknown. Like our namesake, we are rebels.
THE BLEND
Crafted in the heart of beautiful southwestern France, Villon represents a revolution of France’s oldest and most renowned spirits.
Villon is distilled and blended according to a unique, closely-guarded family recipe. It’s smooth, balanced and complex, with luxurious aromas of vanilla, spice, and toasted oak.
THE BOTTLE
The Villon experience begins with the bottle. Our stunning black glass bottle is made from high-end, heavyweight glass with silver and white décor. A tarnished silver “snake and dagger” medallion is the centerpiece of the bottle. An eye-catching, heavyweight embossed stopper and gorgeous embossed details on the rear and bottom of the bottle complete a luxurious package that stands apart from any other liquor in your collection.
In our opinion, Villon is best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube, but is equally well-suited to countless cocktails. Visit our Cocktails page to learn more.

“With notes of hazelnut, chocolate, and molasses mingling with dried fruit, vanilla, and spices. It is, in a word, fantastic, either on the rocks or in a cocktail. Don’t miss this one.” - Tasting Panel Magazine (2021)
