Sovereign Brands, creators of Luc Belaire sparkling wine, Bumbu rums, and McQueen and the Violet Fog gin have launched an exquisite reimagining of Cognac; Villon. VILLON is hand-crafted in Merpins, France, created by smallbatch traditions and made from fine VSOP and XO Cognac and a delectable blend of spirits distilled from French wheat and natural flavors. This spirit is named for medieval French poet François Villon, whose enigmatic story and writings of love, sex, money trouble, dirty cops, lewd monks, and “the thieving rich” is the inspiration for Villon’s name and image. The bottle’s tarnished metal serpent-and-dagger motif is just one such reference. With a broad array of aromas from toasted oak, vanilla, spice, orange blossom, and delicate peach, this luxuriously complex yet balanced spirit can be served neat, over ice, or as the foundation of the perfect cocktail. For more information, visit villonfrance.com and @VillonFrance on Instagram.
