Siete 7

Siete Leguas is one of the most respected and traditional tequila brands in Mexico, renowned for its authenticity, craftsmanship, and commitment to heritage. Named after Pancho Villa’s legendary horse, Siete Leguas—meaning "Seven Leagues"—symbolizes strength, endurance, and loyalty, ideals that the brand has upheld since its founding in 1952 by Don Ignacio González Vargas in Atotonilco El Alto, Jalisco.

What sets Siete Leguas apart is its unwavering dedication to artisanal methods. The distillery controls every aspect of production, starting with estate-grown Blue Weber agave cultivated in the highlands. The piñas are slowly cooked in stone ovens, and the juice is extracted using both traditional tahona and modern roller mill processes—an uncommon dual-method approach that adds complexity and balance to the tequila. Fermentation takes place in open-air wooden vats, followed by double distillation in small copper pot stills.

Siete Leguas maintains two distilleries—Fábrica El Centenario and La Vencedora—where time-honored methods are preserved by skilled jimadores and tequileros. The brand is proudly additive-free, with a focus on preserving the natural flavor of agave. Each expression—from the bright and peppery Blanco to the rich, oak-kissed Añejo—is a reflection of traditional Mexican tequila-making at its finest.

Respected by tequila aficionados around the world, Siete Leguas represents integrity, tradition, and quality without compromise. It remains one of the few family-owned tequila producers operating at scale, staying true to its origins while earning global recognition for excellence. For those seeking an authentic sip of Mexico’s highland terroir, Siete Leguas is a timeless choice.
