What is Siete Leguas Añejo Tequila?
Siete Leguas Añejo Tequila offers a unique balance of wood-aged complexity and vibrant agave character, achieved through its 24-month aging process in American white oak barrels. Interestingly, the brand is named after Pancho Villa's famous horse, "Seven Leagues," which could supposedly travel seven leagues (about 21 miles) without stopping – a nod to the revolutionary spirit and endurance that inspired this exceptional tequila.
Why do we love Siete Leguas Añejo Tequila?
Siete Leguas Añejo Tequila stands out for its meticulous production, including cooking agave in small stone ovens and aging for 24 months in American white oak barrels, resulting in a complex flavor profile that balances cooked agave with subtle notes of dried fruits, spices, and herbaceous undertones. This tequila maintains the essence of traditional production methods while offering a sophisticated taste experience that highlights both the agave's character and the nuanced influence of barrel aging.
How do you drink Siete Leguas Añejo Tequila?
Siete Leguas Añejo Tequila is best savored neat or on the rocks to fully appreciate its complex flavors, though it also shines in spirit-forward cocktails that highlight its rich character. This smooth, full-bodied tequila is perfect for sipping on cool autumn evenings, pairing beautifully with grilled meats, aged cheeses, or dark chocolate desserts.
Nose: Rich cooked agave leads, followed by vanilla, caramel, and oak. Subtle hints of cinnamon and clove mingle with dried fruit notes of raisins and figs. A touch of chocolate and coffee adds depth.
Palate: Smooth and silky texture. Cooked agave remains prominent, balanced by sweet maple syrup and vanilla. Dried fruit flavors emerge - prunes, orange peel, and cherries. Light spice notes of cinnamon and black pepper provide complexity. Subtle earthiness and oak tannins round out the profile.
Finish: Long and warm. The cooked agave lingers, accompanied by dried fruit and oak. A gentle peppery spice builds, then fades to leave a pleasant sweetness. Hints of dark chocolate and coffee linger, with a final whisper of mint for freshness.
Siete Leguas Añejo Tequila is crafted using traditional methods, with agave hearts cooked in small stone ovens before being crushed on a mechanical mill. The spirit is then double-distilled in copper stills and aged for 24 months in American white oak barrels, resulting in a complex tequila that balances the cooked agave flavors with subtle wood-derived notes.
