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. Handcrafted in the heart of beautiful southwestern France, Villon represents a revolution in the realm of Spiced French Liqueur, one of France’s oldest and most renowned spirits. Made from a base of fine Spiced French Liqueur,, Villon is blended with exquisite spirits distilled from French wheat and rich natural flavors. The result is something altogether extraordinary. In our opinion, Villon is best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube, but is equally well-suited to countless cocktails. 40% ABV
