Siete Leguas, named after the horse belonging to Pancho Villa, is a Highlands tequila from Atotonilco El Alto. Agave piñas are harvested, cooked in ovens, and then pressed by either a mule-driven tahona or shredded by more contemporary techniques. The aguamiel (honey-water) is then fermented and distilled. The reposado expression is aged for eight months in white oak barrels.
"Eight months of resting on oak imparts a tinge of color to this spicy reposado. On the nose it presents a hint of lemon peel and vanilla. On the palate it's all agave kick with a peppery bite, minerality, a touch of oak, and a long finish. This is an agave lover's reposado, great for sipping and versatile enough to find a home in cocktails."
