Siete Leguas Añejo Tequila

Siete Leguas Añejo Tequila hails from Atotonilco El Alto in the Jalisco highlands of Mexico, a classic brand with a rich history dating back to its founding in 1952 by Ignacio González Vargas. The name "Siete Leguas" itself is a nod to Pancho Villa's famed horse, symbolizing endurance and the brand's multi-generational commitment to traditional tequila production. Known for its artisanal methods, Siete Leguas utilizes traditional stone ovens for cooking agave and even once produced the original Patron Tequila. This Añejo is aged for 24 months in American white oak barrels, resulting in a smooth, full-bodied spirit with notes of cooked agave, vanilla, and dried fruit.

Siete Leguas Añejo brings a warm, inviting presence to your home bar, offering cooked agave, vanilla, and oak, with hints of baking spices and dried fruit. This well-balanced añejo, aged for 24 months in American white oak, truly sings in spirit-forward cocktails like an Old Fashioned or a refined Manhattan variation, where its complexity can take center stage. It’s also a sophisticated sipper, neat or on the rocks, allowing the full-bodied, silky texture and long finish to be appreciated.

Siete Leguas Añejo offers a delightful progression of the senses. Initially, scents of cooked agave mingle with vanilla, dried fruit, and a whisper of cinnamon. The palate is greeted by a full agave flavor, followed by spicy oak, vanilla, baked apples, and a hint of black pepper. It finishes with a pleasing warmth, slightly dry, showcasing cooked agave and developing complexities.
