Hijos de Villa in Reposado and Blanco varieties

Hijos de Villa tequila comes in both Reposado and Blanco varieties, which are aged for different periods of time. The Blanco Hijos de Villa is unaged, whilst the Reposado Hijos de Villa is aged for an average of four months in white oak casks. The Blanco is thus more punchy and fresh, whilst the Reposado is more rounded and mellow. The tequila is rich with agave notes and a little smokiness.

Each bottle is numbered to indicate its status as a collector’s item. The glass pistol bottles are custom made and totally unique to Hijos de Villa. The revolver bottles come with two shot glasses from which you can enjoy your neat tequila. Alternatively, you can get a larger 0.7L of Reposado in a glass cartridge bottle.

The Blanco Hijos de Villa Tequila has flavours of sweetness and honey, with an abv of 38%. The Reposado Hijos de Villa Tequila has flavours of beer and ginger, and also has an abv of 38%. Both tequilas are suitable for sipping or slamming, or naturally both are at home in a good cocktail.

Tequila has a long history in Mexico, where they have been making agave-based alcoholic drinks such as pulque for more than 2,000 years. When Spanish settlers arrived in Mexico, they brought with them knowledge of distillation techniques, which were applied to agave plants to create tequila as we know it today. Tequila was first produced in a factory in the 1600s in Jalisco, though the exact details are elusive.

By 1800, tequila makers started to age the tequila in oak barrels to give it a smoother, rounder flavour and to reduce the harshness of the alcohol. Over the years it became increasingly popular in the United States, especially in the South where it was easy to access. From there, it surged in popularity during the Second World War, and again in the 1980s, and tequila drinking spread to be a global phenomenon.
