Siete Leguas Blanco Tequila Review
The body is light, but its mouthfeel is cozily coating. Soon, enough though, the spirit dries things up a bit with its keen minerality and herbal character.
The body is light, but its mouthfeel is cozily coating. Soon, enough though, the spirit dries things up a bit with its keen minerality and herbal character.
The nose–like anything from the flawless Cascahuin distillery–El Negocio Blanco brings deep minerality and floral character atop an undercurrent of horno-roasted agave, agua miel and golden raisins.
The nose starts a little funky but intriguing, with warmed butter and mozzarella cheese drifting into herbal characters like spearmint and dried sage.
Despite lacking complexity, this is an easy-sipping tequila that’s ideal for newcomers who are finally convinced to go slowly with tequila rather than shoot it.
Doubtless, some will like these gentle sippers, but they’re too gentle for my preference. They lack the backbone a barrel can provide and the magical flavors great oxidization deliver to dazzle.
This is a nice tequila for the price and arguably the best liquid from Impulsora Rombo.
The result in Winter Blend 2023 is the still-strength blanco is nearly outgunned by all the varied wood influences. Francavilla has made a blend that’s undeniably Fortaleza, but in the glass, there’s a lot going on that keeps it from becoming a unified whole.
