Siete Leguas Reposado Tequila

The Reposado is many drinkers' favorite expression of Siete Leguas — the sweet spot where the house's famously agave-forward character picks up just enough wood to round the edges. It follows the same time-honored process as everything from the family distillery in Atotonilco el Alto: batches blended from two side-by-side facilities, one running a mule-drawn volcanic tahona with fiber fermentation in wooden tanks, the other a roller mill, both cooking estate-grown highland agave in traditional brick ovens. It then rests 8 to 10 months in ex-bourbon casks refilled as many as 20 times — well-worn wood that seasons rather than dominates, which is why the agave stays front and center where most reposados start tasting like the barrel. Bottled at 40% ABV, additive-free. Difford's Guide found a subtle, fruity nose of peach, pear, pine, fresh dill, and agave, opening into a rounded, slightly sweet palate of vanilla, ripe mango, banana, and peaches with cleansing citrus and a tingle of cinnamon and black pepper for balance. From the family that made the original Patrón from 1988 to 2002 and walked away rather than compromise their methods. Superb neat, and it makes a margarita worth writing home about.
