A Bullet-Shaped Bottle Worth Keeping
The Hijos de Villa line comes in three collectible shapes — pistol, bullet, and rifle — all born from the 2010 centenary of the Mexican Revolution and the Villanueva-Barragán family's tribute to the era of Pancho Villa. The bullet is the sleekest of the three: a hand-numbered glass cartridge in a display case, holding the same style of soft, honeyed reposado as its pistol sibling. Whether the two decanters hold the identical liquid is unverified — but the presentation is unmistakably the same award-winning line.

Tasting Notes
Bright straw-yellow. The nose is classic, soft, and delicate — slightly sweet, with fresh agave and dried-fruit nuances. The palate brings agave flavor with honey sweetness and nutty barrel notes: not bitter, not astringent, not acidic. Trade notes add warm oak, cooked agave, and vanilla with a smooth caramel-and-wood-spice finish.
How to Enjoy
Neat, at room temperature, to taste the oak rest — or save the numbered bullet for the shelf and pour from a standard reposado for cocktails. Either way, it is built to be given: the display case is the gift wrap.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long is it aged?
It is rested in white oak barrels — retailers cite 6–8 or 6–12 months, but the brand page does not state an exact duration.
What is the difference from the pistol?
Same family and line — the bullet is a different numbered glass decanter shape holding a reposado of the same style.
Is it 40% or 38% ABV?
US retailers list 40%; a UK listing shows 38% for the line — a bottle read will confirm which this bottling carries.
