Siete Leguas Blanco Tequila

Siete Leguas Blanco is what serious drinkers mean when they say "that tastes like tequila." The family-owned house in Atotonilco el Alto has made it the same way since 1952, blending batches from its two side-by-side distilleries: one where a volcanic tahona stone is still pulled by mules and fermentation happens in wooden tanks with the agave fibers left in, the other running a roller mill — both cooking estate-grown highland agave in traditional brick ovens. The backstory most people don't know: this distillery made the original Patrón from the late 1980s until 2002, and when Patrón's exploding demand required production compromises, Siete Leguas refused and walked away. Bottled at 40% ABV, additive-free. One blind-tasting outlet scored it 89/100, judging it bolder and more raw than Fortaleza — the most agave-forward of the traditional benchmarks — while Difford's Guide found tropical fruit candy, fresh dill, citrus zest, and an earthy clay palate turning to cinnamon, green apple, and pear. Expect cooked agave, black pepper, lemongrass, mint, and wet-stone minerality, with a silky, almost buttery body. A staple for sipping, and masterful in a margarita.
