Siete Leguas Reposado is a traditional 100% Blue Weber agave tequila aged around eight months in white oak barrels, from one of the most respected family producers in Jalisco (NOM 1120).
Siete Leguas is named after the horse that belonged to Pancho Villa. Built on its powerful traditional agave base, the reposado takes on a soft amber-yellow colour with green and golden highlights and an aromatic wood scent layered over intense agave, bold and smooth at once, full bodied with distinct legs on the glass.
At rest, the aroma brings cooked and fresh agave and herbal notes married with sweet fragrances and woody undertones from the barrel. When swirled, light herbal and citrus notes with the fresh essence of ripe fruit appear, followed by gentle vanilla, very light nuts and dried fruit. The palate is bold and balanced, with powerful agave, wood notes and warm spice, and the finish is long and smooth.
A classic of traditional tequila, it makes a fine gift.
Reposado, meaning rested, is tequila aged between two months and a year in oak, which gives it a pale gold colour and a gentle touch of wood while keeping the agave bright and lively.
Tequila can only be made from blue Weber agave in five designated Mexican states, chiefly Jalisco, and the finest bottlings are made from 100% agave. Sipping tequila is best enjoyed from a narrow-rimmed glass that concentrates the aromas, at room temperature and without salt or lime, so the character of the agave and the barrel can come through.
