Colorless, but with silver hints and undertones. Full bodied, rich and smooth, with distinct legs on the glass. Atotonilco El Alto is Jalisco’s orchard garden and the heart of our tequila. It is a place full of growth, tradition and beauty where Tequila Siete Leguas comes to life and then extends to every place where people appreciate the flavor of real tequila.
Tequila Siete Leguas is red soil, agave, our people and our roots. In 1952 Ignacio González Vargas, founder of Casa Siete Leguas, began producing tequila using artisanal production processes. He named his tequila in honor of General Francisco Villa’s horse, El Siete Leguas.
A legua (league) is 8.1 miles; 7 leagues is the distance between many towns in Mexico. General Villa’s horse was given this name because it ran that distance fearlessly from one town to another always persevering, never straying, while carrying the General into battle.
