Review: Siete Leguas Tequila Blanco
Siete Leguas Tequila Blanco is crafted in one of the oldest distilleries in Mexico where they have been distilling tequila since 1952. The brand itself is named after Revolutionary war hero Pancho Villa’s horse. It is made with 100% Blue Agave. A sample of each agave pina is taken to verify that the sugar content is just right. The pina’s are then split and slowly cooked in masonry ovens. The cooked pinas are taken to the Tahona, a traditional stone mill driven by mules to crush and extract the agave juice. After fermentation it is double distilled in copper pot stills and then filtered before bottling.The aroma is agave, vanilla, and bubblegum. In my mouth the feel is slightly oily. The sweet agave entry has vanilla building to an herbal, citrus peak. It fades with a sprinkle of pepper and finishes dry with roasted agave and mint toothpick flavor, and some heat.
