Villa One, the brainchild of Nick Jonas and John Varvatos, made its debut in 2019. This collaborative venture between the two creative minds was brought to life through a partnership with Stoli Group, a renowned spirits company. As a sommelier and brewer, I was particularly intrigued by the launch of Villa One and eagerly delved into the details.
The journey of Villa One began when Nick Jonas and John Varvatos, both passionate about the world of spirits, joined forces to create a tequila that would embody their shared values and artistic vision. With a desire to craft a tequila that reflected their personal tastes and experiences, they enlisted the expertise of master distiller Arturo Fuentes.
The partnership with Stoli Group, a company known for its commitment to quality and innovation, further solidified the foundation of Villa One. With their extensive knowledge of the spirits industry, Stoli Group brought invaluable resources and support to the table, allowing Villa One to flourish.
Being a sommelier, I understand the importance of attention to detail in the creation of a premium spirit. Villa One takes pride in its meticulous production process, focusing on the finest ingredients and traditional techniques. The tequila is crafted from 100% blue weber agave, sourced from the highlands and lowlands of Jalisco, Mexico. This careful selection of agave ensures that Villa One tequila possesses a distinct and exceptional flavor profile.
Villa One offers three expressions: Silver, Reposado, and Añejo, each representing a different facet of tequila craftsmanship. The Silver expression is unaged, allowing the natural flavors of the agave to shine through with a crisp and vibrant character. The Reposado is aged for six months in American oak barrels, lending it a smooth and subtly complex taste. the Añejo is aged for over a year, resulting in a rich and full-bodied tequila with notes of caramel and oak.
One aspect that sets Villa One apart is the attention given to the bottle design. Nick Jonas and John Varvatos drew inspiration from their shared love for music and fashion, incorporating elements of both into the elegant and stylish bottle. The bottle's sleek silhouette, adorned with a guitar pick-shaped medallion, pays homage to their artistic backgrounds and adds a touch of sophistication to any bar or collection.
In my personal experience, I have found Villa One tequila to be a testament to the dedication and passion of its creators. The Silver expression, with its vibrant and refreshing character, is perfect for sipping on a warm summer evening or as the base for a well-crafted cocktail. The Reposado, with its smooth and nuanced flavors, is a delightful companion for moments of relaxation and contemplation. And the Añejo, with its depth and complexity, is best savored slowly, allowing the layers of flavor to unfold.
Villa One made its debut in 2019 as a result of the collaboration between Nick Jonas, John Varvatos, and master distiller Arturo Fuentes, with the support of Stoli Group. This tequila brand offers three distinct expressions, each crafted with care and attention to detail. The combination of high-quality ingredients, traditional techniques, and a stylish bottle design sets Villa One apart in the world of tequila.
