The Revolver That Made It Into the Movies
Created for the 2010 centenary of the Mexican Revolution, the Hijos de Villa pistol honors the Villanueva-Barragán family — owners of Licores Veracruz, founded in Orizaba in the late 19th century and run by the family since 1950. The glass revolver is modeled on Pancho Villa-era weapons in a three-dimensionally registered, hand-numbered design that took the World Packaging Organization's Gold Medal — and it had a cameo in Robert Rodriguez's Machete (2010). Inside is a clean, classic blanco. Browse Hijos de Villa, shop blanco tequila, or see all tequila.
Tasting Notes
Colorless, transparent, clean, and bright. The nose is classic, soft, and delicate — characteristically tequila, slightly sweet, with fresh agave nuances. The palate shows agave flavor with a slight honey sweetness: not bitter, not astringent, not acidic.
How to Enjoy
Chill it and sip neat to taste the agave, or shake a 200mL-sized round of blanco margaritas (about four generous pours). Mostly, though, this is the gift bottle — the numbered pistol and presentation case are the present.
