Villa One Reposado Tequila

Product Description

Villa One Reposado Tequila: Nick Jonas’ Favorite, Aged Six Months in American Oak

Villa One is an ultra-premium tequila founded by Nick Jonas and fashion designer John Varvatos, and the Reposado is the bottle the brand calls “Nick Jonas’ favorite.” It’s a light gold, oak-rested tequila made from 100% Blue Weber agave and bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof). It’s described as unmatched on the rocks and in a jalapeño basil margarita.

The brand’s pitch is that it sources its Blue Weber agave from both the Highlands and the Lowlands of Jalisco, which isn’t how most tequilas are made. It combines the herbaceous, earthy notes of the Lowlands with the sweeter, fruitier notes of the Highlands for a rounder profile. Master distiller Arturo Fuentes, known in the industry as “The Godfather of Tequila,” makes it at Fábrica de Tequilas Finos, and the agave is matured five to seven years.

How Villa One Reposado Is Made

The tequila is double-distilled in copper pot stills from agave cooked in brick or stone ovens and extracted in a roller mill. It then rests for six months in American oak barrels, which give it its light gold color. It was included in Wine Enthusiast’s 100 Best Spirits of 2021, and the brand lists a Silver at the SIP Awards and a Silver at the BTI Awards.

Tasting Notes

Color: Light gold.

Aroma: Caramel and candy.

Palate: Full and balanced, with butterscotch, chocolate, and smoke.

Finish: Light, with coffee, caramel, a mellow spice, and a leather aftertaste.

Wine Enthusiast scored it 91 points, noting vanilla, maple, sarsaparilla, cocoa, and clove and allspice on the finish. Some independent reviewers find it sweet-leaning, so it suits drinkers who like a softer, dessert-style reposado.

Food Pairings

The caramel and butterscotch pair well with grilled chicken, pork carnitas, and tacos. It also goes with spicy dishes where the sweetness cools the heat, and with desserts like flan, churros, and chocolate.

Serving Suggestions

Serve it neat or on the rocks, which is how the brand recommends it. It’s also at its best in the brand’s jalapeño basil margarita, or in a paloma or a tequila old fashioned. The sweetness and light oak make it easy to enjoy for people who find blanco tequila too sharp.
