Siete Leguas Blanco has an incredibly aromatic nose dominated by the scent of roasted agave, complemented by subtle hints of black pepper, earthiness, and vegetal notes.

The palate experience is equally impressive, with a creamy and slightly warm texture that first introduces black pepper notes, followed by a potent agave flavor.

The finish is long-lasting, leaving a gentle warmth that gradually dissipates into a delightful sweetness of blue agave, complemented by a touch of black pepper.

How did I review Siete Leguas Blanco?

I run a pub and a liquor store, granting me extensive access to various spirits, in addition, I moonlight as an agave spirits distiller.

My evaluations include my insights and feedback from customers and patrons and Tequila expert opinions from Neil Coleman who has been for decades in the liquor business.

I also corroborate my views with online research to ensure accuracy.

Our ratings are determined primarily by four key factors: aroma, taste, finish, and value for money. While we do consider packaging, it is of lesser importance to us, as we prioritize the quality of the liquid inside over the aesthetics of the bottle.
