Siete Leguas Anejo

Siete Leguas was founded in 1952 by Ignacio Gonzalez Vargas in the town of Atotonilco, Jalisco.   Tequilas made by Siete Leguas are overseen by Master Distiller Arturo Valle-Salcedo, and made in 2 different distilleries that they own El Centenario and La Vencedora.  El Centenario is their original distillery, where they still use brick ovens, a tahona that is pulled around by 2 mules, fermentation that is done with all of the agave fibers, and small copper stills are used for distillation.  La Vencedora is their modern distillery where most of their tequilas are produced.  Large brick ovens, Molinos, industrially sized fermentation tanks, and large copper pot stills are used to make the tequilas here. Siete Leguas uses used American whiskey barrels that have not been re-toasted. Their añejo is then aged for 24 months in white oak barrels.
