7 Leguas Tequila Blanco

Tasted in a caballito on June 2, 2008.

Siete Leguas Blanco

Color: clear
Aroma: grass & agave
Taste: light on the tongue with the taste of earth and faint pepper finishing very smooth

This is a blanco that has moved into my top five. It is too bad I have to travel out of state to purchase. Chinaco, Siete Leguas, Corralejo and Milagro are my current top blanco picks as of the writing of this review

7 Leguas is one of my favorite blancos. In my humble opinion, it has alot of depth to it from the aroma to the finish. Truly a classic.

Aroma: I detected intense floral and earth with hints of mild smoke.
Initial taste:Intense earth and lots of agave
Body: followed by continued agave with slight floral and citrus
Finish: For me, a long duration with the agave and mild smoke taste fading out nicely.

Presentation has nothing to do with the taste, but 7 Leguas comes very nicely packaged.

7 Leguas Blanco NOM 1120 Tasted on 5/7/07 at 5:00pm. I tried this tequila, which cost me $9, at Zocalo and tasted it in a snifter. With a clear color, this tequila has intense aromas of floral, earth, and spice. Other aromas include moderate fruit with mild smoke. The tequila has a thin mouth feel and on the first sip is sweet with a hint of bitterness. Intense flavors of earth and agave are followed by moderate notes of fruit and floral. With a long duration of flavor, tastes of mild spice, smoke, and wood bring this tequila to a numbing finish. 7 Leguas Blanco has received the rating of 93 points out of 100.
