After revisiting Siete Leguas Blanco, I appreciate it even more than I did the first time. It’s not a tequila that tries to impress with intensity—it wins with balance. Cooked agave is front and center, followed by black pepper, citrus, minerals, and just enough earthy character to keep every sip interesting. The finish is clean, peppery, and leaves you wanting another sip. The more blancos I try, the more I appreciate what Siete Leguas has been doing for decades. A bottle I’ll always be happy to have on my shelf.

Nose is cooked agave, pepper, earth and citrus. Taste is cooked agave, pepper and earth. Glass was a Glencairn. This Blanco is a good sipper.

Very agave forward. Some unique earthiness to it. Citrus, minterality, a little pepper. It’s a little pricey, especially for a 700ml bottle but a good sipper.

This is one of the best! Great price! Amazing Cooked agave taste. The sweetness is amazing. The finish is long with a minty and peppery flavor!!

Nose: agave (raw) / smoke/ pepper/ lime/ lemongrass / orange peel / salt-brine Taste: sweet agave / cinnamon/ vanilla/ mineral/ banana/ cinnamon/ pear / melon/ grapefruit/ anise / cream soda Finish: very very light viscosity with a lingering agave sweetness and a very mild pepper and anise after taste. Super clean and enjoyable finish. This blanco is so sweet and delicious while being refreshing and giving a great finish. This could be a blanco sipper all day and turn into a great cocktail mixer, sort of like Superman switching back and forth from Clark Kent. It’s real superhero power is that it’s impossible to beat for the price!!!

Cooked agave with black pepper and earthy nose. The taste follows the aromas and this wakes up your senses. The rich mouth feel with a buttery taste makes for a smooth finish. Delicious in every way.

Damn, this is such a solid blanco tequila. It never disappoints. Agave, vegetal notes, oily mouth feel, warm and slightly spicy (and buttery) finish. All the good things are here.

Nose- cooked agave, bright vegetal notes Taste- cooked agave, brine, black pepper great mouth feel Finish- long cooked agave notes, brine and black pepper Had the joy of rating this with the Tasting Panel Training Class.

Nose: Starts off with a mild kick of ethanol which dissipates into a spicy pepper with plenty of agave. Floral with hints of herbal notes. Flavor: Strong pleasant agave on the palate which is quickly followed by black pepper, spice, lemon and general citrus. Mild earthy undertones. Hard to beat this proven winner for the price point and quality. This is an old school example of what blancos should taste like

The aroma engulfs with deliciously strong minerality; anise, lime citrus, light prune notes are gathered with green pepper vegetal tones, and a hint of brine, complemented by the subtle presence of cooked sweet potato. On the palate, the same distinct minerality found in the aroma prevails, accompanied by pepperiness, light brine, raisin sweetness, mint and candied yams. The non-abrasive alcohol tone is notably palatable, adding a warm complexity to the experience. The finish maintains the continual thread of minerality, with hints of herbal freshness and slight pepperiness gradually lingering on the tongue, creating a harmonious conclusion.

Bottle: N/A, sampled during Tequila Matchmaker’s Tequila School Panel Training Appearance: Clear Nose: Cooked and raw agave, mint, black and white pepper, cinnamon, minerality, wet cement, citrus, lemon, herbal, parsley, anise, brine/salinity, alcohol, cedar, candied orange peel, vegetal, freshly cut grass, and bell pepper…classic tequila profile Palate: Cooked and raw agave, black and white pepper, butter, minerality, wet cement, limestone, brine/salinity, olive, herbal, clove, anise, basil, parsley, citrus, lemon, lime, cinnamon, peppermint, and subtle smoke…very similar to the nose, but with more pronounced minerality and herbs Finish: Cooked agave, black pepper, peppermint, and jalapeño…great viscosity, longer length, and warming without being overpowering Overall: This is a bottle I’ve seen in a store and passed on time and time again because it felt less exciting and like it would always be around. Having now tried it, it’s pretty incredible that such a good tequila has such a great distribution with such a low price tag. I can absolutely understand how this came to be a benchmark of sorts for people in the know about great tequila.

Such a solid blanco. Aroma was lots of cooked agave and very vegetal along with wet earth, citrus, and grass. On the palate those aromas carried forward. There is lots of cooked agave, very vegetal, some black pepper and an earthy component with citrus fruits. I was able to pick this up at my local Costco for $40 so extra points on the value. Overall a very solid blanco.

Aroma of sweet vegetal agave, but with a dusty layer Vanilla throughout the mid-palate finish matched with tropical fruitiness, cooked pineapple, melon. A bit hotter… Nice elongated finish with a sweet peppery profile

This is an excellent tequila for the price. It is what you want from a good blanco. Agave and pepper on the nose. Earth and citrus. Minerals and a bit of mint. On the tongue, you get agave and pepper. It does have a bit more alcybite that I’d want but it doesn’t overwhelm the citrus and mineral taste. I do get a touch of butter on the finish. This is a great value tequila that I highly recommend.

The nose seems to have a bit more anise and grassy notes. I get a hint of citrus and salt. Very strong and sweet cooked agave with touches of black pepper, vegetal notes anise, mint, and a tinge of soft minerality.

Black pepper, cooked agave, minerality, great complexity. One of the best!

Amazing nose, smells like christmas in a glass! Also some oak/caramel in there as it swirls, some hints of cinnamon, mint, allspice even, very great aroma! Taste is right there matching the aroma, very delicious blanco, up there with the Ocho Plata Nacimiento for me, will be stocking up on this.

got to try a 1993 sample of siete leguas blanco from john welch 12.7.25 it was fantastic!

Malolactic with cooked agave. Some pepper at the end.

A – Amazing aroma had me shuffling all around the aroma wheel. I could only imagine what some time in a barrel would do to this already complex, yet balanced, tequila. I’m getting tropical and citrus fruits, baking spice, wide floral ranges, earthy minerals, herbs, and the constant of baked potato and cooked agave. T – Similar to the aroma, it danced around quite a bit between the cooked agave, black pepper, buttery, olive, yeast, wet cement, and a strong cola flavor. This is delicious. F – The ending was as complex as the first two-thirds. I’m picking up a minty, copper combo briefly, before giving way to sweet almond, clove, and allspice. Nice heat on the way down. Overall – I’d drink this every day; can’t wait to find out what it is and hope I have plenty in my collection.

From blind tasting: On the nose I get an earthy and citrusy tone with some floral notes. The taste matches the nose, with some cooked agave, mint and pepper in there on the finish.

Blind: Aroma: stone, fresh cut grass. Definitely a malolactic smell to this, but much subtler than Atanasio. I like this aroma Taste: mellows out drastically from the nose. Soft minerality, a subtle Cheesiness (the perfect amount), stone, red fruit. A lot going on but all subtle Oily mouthfeel. Feels like a layer hangs around in your mouth Finish: soft. Medium length. Like im nibbling a cheese board. Yum This is a tequila i would love to have in my shelf for when i was craving a malolactic taste. I wouldnt reach for it all the time, but it would always treat me well when i did Aroma: i like the nose. Cooked agave, vanilla, minerals Taste: not near as good as the nose. The agave is present and i pick up minerality Mouth / finish: hard to describe but a light finish in which i can feel the buzz of the alcohol sitting there. “High pitched”. It disipates quickly but leaves a buzzing which i like I like this tequila but wouldnt rave about it

On the palate, atomic agave bomb, it almost overwhelms everything else in the best way possible. Some fruity and citrusy notes, and you can smell the minerals. It’s earthy, and very robust. Some kind of herb that I can’t quite place my finger on. Almost like basil. Tastes Sweet, crisp and clean agave goodness. Definitely getting the minerals and citrus. Very mineral heavy and earthy. I can clearly see how this becomes the añejo. Very good, excellent. A top 10 blanco for me easy.

The best Blanco I have ever head. Very earthy Blanco. Highly recommend.

Had the Mexican version side by side with the American release, and I have to say the Mexican was better. Same ABV, different bottle shape. American: Agave on the nose, with flavors of agave, pepper, and some celery on the back end. It has a light peppery short finish. Tasted at the distillery and this is growing on me. Solid blanco! TMM Blind 2025: 89–Nice fresh aroma of citrus and rain. Flavors follow with agave, slight bitter citrus rind, and anise.
