Siete Leguas Reposado - Item Code: 05348
Tasting Notes and Characteristics:
Siete Leguas Reposado greets the palate with a smooth, warming feel that makes it perfect for relaxed evenings or celebratory gatherings. This tequila, crafted in Mexico, carries an ABV of 40% and is aged in white oak barrels for about eight months. The careful production process preserves the agave’s character while adding subtle complexity from the wood.
On tasting, Siete Leguas Reposado reveals notes of cooked agave, vanilla, caramel, and a gentle hint of spice. These flavors create a balanced profile that pairs beautifully with carnitas—the tequila’s slight sweetness and oakiness complementing the savory pork—or grilled shrimp, where its citrus undertones enhance the seafood’s freshness without overpowering it.
Producer Information: Casa Siete Leguas
Casa Siete Leguas is based in Atotonilco El Alto, Jalisco, Mexico, a region celebrated for its rich agave fields and deep-rooted tequila traditions. The distillery was established in 1952 by Don Ignacio González Vargas and has remained family-owned ever since. Casa Siete Leguas is committed to artisanal production methods, utilizing traditional brick ovens for slow-cooking agave and employing both tahona and roller mill extraction techniques. Their process emphasizes small-batch craftsmanship, ensuring each bottle reflects the terroir of the Highlands of Jalisco.
Beyond their flagship tequilas made from 100% blue Weber agave, Casa Siete Leguas offers a diverse portfolio that includes limited-edition extra añejo expressions and special cask-finished releases. They have also experimented with unique barrel aging programs using American oak and French oak to impart distinct flavor profiles.

Tequila is a distilled spirit made primarily from the blue agave plant (Agave tequilana), predominantly produced in the Jalisco region of Mexico, along with some areas in Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas. This unique spirit undergoes a meticulous distillation process, typically involving double distillation in pot stills or column stills. Tequila is categorized into several types based on its aging process: Blanco (unaged or aged less than 2 months), Reposado (aged between 2 months and 1 year), Añejo (aged between 1 and 3 years), and Extra Añejo (aged over 3 years). Each type offers distinct flavor profiles ranging from fresh and herbal to rich and complex.
The flavor and aroma of tequila vary significantly across its categories. Blanco tequilas are known for their crisp texture with fresh citrus notes, peppery hints, and agave sweetness. Reposado tequilas present a softer profile with vanilla and caramel undertones derived from oak aging. Añejo varieties boast richer flavors such as chocolate, coffee, and dried fruit alongside pronounced oak influence. Extra Añejo tequilas deliver complex layers of deep wood characteristics combined with smoothness. Tequila is versatile in cocktails; it serves as the base for popular drinks like Margaritas, Tequila Sunrises, Palomas, and various craft cocktails that highlight agave spirits.
