Zesty and spicy, this highlands Tequila shows dried herbs, jalapeño, lemon peel and black pepper, all wrapped up in a clean finish. The alcohol levels feel surprisingly restrained for a blanco. Consider pairing alongside rich or fried foods.
Casa Siete Leguas began with the promise of creating an artisan tequila that respected the process of true tequila. Over the years our greatest inheritance has been the love for the red earth, for the agave, for their people and their roots. From our origin until today we know that the correct thing will always be to be faithful to their values, and it is thanks to that that they are here today.
Their name lives up to their promise. Siete Leguas, Pancho Villa's mare, walked with the caudillo all over the country without surrendering, persevering a spirit and a mission: to be faithful to his word.
Tequila Blanco, or ‘white Tequila’, is also known as Tequila Plata, or ‘silver Tequila’. Its clear color is the result of being bottled immediately after distillation instead of being aged in oak barrels like Tequila Reposado or Anejo. Because of their youth and lack of barrel influence, Blanco Tequilas are thought to offer the purest expression of blue agave available, with notes of citrus and pepper. However, they can also be quite forceful and energetic on the palate without the moderating influence of time and wood.
