Siete Leguas Blanco Tequila

Sweet, peppery, well balanced

So much more complex and interesting than Patron, yet still smooth and pleasant. To me it tasted grassy and a little sweet. If you can find this locally at a reasonable price, I would absolutely recommend it.

90 Sweet sugar caned agave.minimal earthiness. Rich and light. Light pepper. Very well executed. Agave shines in this well made blanco.

This immediately smells like tequila, with a mix of minerals, sweetness, herbs, and a kick of spice. There are just a few things going on, but the flavors are all quite good. I do wish there were less pepper, but I would sip this as is and be reasonably happy. Pineapple is here, mixed with lime and maybe a little olive. The pineapple presence makes this really refreshing and fun. Some sage gets in there too, but it does not overwhelm. As it is, this is pretty smooth and quite rounded. It's rich without having a bunch of bad flavors. The slightly bitter earthy and smoky notes on the finish play well with the sweetness and minerals. There is a good amount going on. Not a masterpiece, but very good. Note: this review underestimates the sweetness.
