7 Leguas Tequila Reposado, NOM 1120. A beautifully pale, golden color spirit. The open agave, peppery nose progressed into a wonderfully smoky, spicy, sweet agave taste experience. The body was even better when all the tastes came together and literally danced across my tongue in a long, enduring finish that lasted for quite some time. This tequila is as smooth as the other finest reposado's on the market. Because of the aforementioned attributes, 7 Leguas will always have a place in my bar & deserves to stand alongside the very best tequila's available. Even @ $40+ a bottle, this is a truly fine tequila worthy of the most discriminating palates.

An all-time great reposado. This tequila begins, ends, and revolves around a wonderful fruity sweetness, complemented by smooth spicy earthy agave notes giving it a near unparalleled balance and complexity. Aroma has citrus and some dill and/or mint to go with the 7 Leguas fruity sweet/roasted agave profile. Taste continues along the same narrative, expanding into flavours of soft wood, some caramel, and a perfect dash of peppery spice, while still retaining that earthy agave component up front. Finish is long and wide, great spice and nice heat, ending where it all began with notes of soft sweet cooked agave and a long-lingering spicy tingle. This is an endlessly drinkable tequila. One of the best.

Tasted 05/22/15 from a Riedel Tequila Glass.
Appearance: Pale straw color
Aroma: Light fragrance of agave, oak, and caramel with notes of citrus and ginseng.
Initial Taste: Delicate flavors of sweet agave, oak, vanilla, and baking spices with a very mild herbaceous note.
Body: Very smooth and light buttery mouth feel with complex but nicely integrated flavors
Finish: A very smooth medium-length finish of sweet agave, vanilla, earthy wood and baking spices nicely distributed over the palate with no bitterness. A mild peppery agave kick concludes a very nice finish.
Price: $38.99 to $53.99 (RRP: $42.99)

This is a very well crafted reposado. Its mild, almost delicate, and well integrated flavors of sweet agave, oak, vanilla, baking spices and ginseng together with its smoothness make Siete Leguas an excellent sipping reposado.

A very, very solid reposado. One of the most enjoyable reposados I've had in a while. Certainly a tequila that will find a lasting place on my shelf as a staple of my collection.

Aroma: Toffee, brown sugar, citrus peel, pepper.
Initial taste: Soft, sweet, with mild caramel and a "sugary" sensation (but not a sugary taste). A very welcoming first few moments!
Body: Very smooth and sensuous on the palate. Slightly oily. Develops beautifully in a burst of flavor.
Finish: Rounds out nicely and coats the mouth in wonderful flavors of fresh agave, spice, and citrus against a very mellow caramel background.

This tequila is a near theatrical experience. It introduces itself as one thing and then changes to another almost instantly in a crescendo of flavor. My one complaint would be that I wish it were a bit more oily as it has a semi-thin mouthfeel. Altogether, though, this is a beautifully put together classic reposado. I'm just mad I hadn't tried it sooner.
