Siete Leguas 70th Anniversary Criollos Blanco Tequila
Siete Leguas · Tequila Siete Leguas S.A. de C.V.
This 70th anniversary expression showcases Siete Leguas at their most celebratory, using rare criollo agave to honor tradition and terroir in a single, unaged statement. It is a tequila that rewards contemplation — proof that blanco can carry the weight of legacy. A fitting capstone to any harvest-themed collection.
Nose
Vibrant cooked agave leads, followed by fresh-cut grass and white pepper. Citrus blossom and a hint of wet mineral earth rise gently, evoking rain on sun-warmed fields.
Palate
Rich and textured, with deeply roasted agave at the center, surrounded by green herbs, black pepper, and a touch of citrus zest. A subtle yeasty breadiness adds complexity, while the criollo agave varietal lends an earthy, almost floral depth uncommon in standard blanco expressions.
Finish
Long and warming, with lingering cooked agave, a mineral backbone, and a gentle herbal fade that recalls the last warmth of a November harvest.

Food Pairing
Roasted butternut squash tacos with charred poblano crema, toasted pepitas, and pickled red onion — the squash's caramelized sweetness mirrors the cooked agave heart, while the poblano's gentle heat and the pepitas' nuttiness echo the tequila's herbal, earthy complexity.
Crafted from rare criollo agave to mark seventy years of family stewardship, this anniversary blanco is Siete Leguas' tribute to the ancestral cultivars that once defined the highlands of Jalisco.

G4 High Proof Blanco is a masterclass in textural direction — the elevated proof acts as a compass, guiding flavors through a dense, layered landscape of agave, mineral, and spice. Felipe Camarena's traditional brick-oven and tahona-influenced process yields a blanco that punches well above its price, offering a viscous, full-bodied experience that rewards contemplation as much as cocktail use.
