Siete Leguas Blanco
Siete Leguas · Tequila Siete Leguas
Siete Leguas Blanco is a benchmark unaged tequila. The traditional tahona and roller mill combination extracts maximum character from highland agave, and the result is a spirit that's both pristine and deeply flavored. Essential for any serious tequila shelf.
Nose
Vibrant cooked agave dominates with bright citrus and a grassy freshness. Underneath lies a mineral earthiness and a hint of white pepper that adds complexity.
Palate
Clean and focused. The cooked agave sweetness is framed by lime zest and herbaceous notes—fresh mint and thyme. A subtle yeasty, bready quality gives the mid-palate texture.
Finish
Medium-length with a pleasant peppery tingle and a final pulse of agave sweetness.
