The Heart of Tequila – Agave Piñas at Siete Leguas!

​This is where it all begins! Stacks of freshly harvested agave piñas, waiting to be slow-roasted at Siete Leguas—one of Mexico’s most iconic tequila producers. 🇲🇽🍹

At Aroma Thyme, we’re passionate about seeking out authentic, additive-free tequilas, crafted with tradition, care, and integrity—and Siete Leguas stands as one of the finest examples of true tequila craftsmanship.

A Legacy of Tradition & ExcellenceFounded in 1952, Siete Leguas has built its reputation on small-batch, artisanal production, using time-honored techniques that define the essence of real tequila. Unlike mass-produced brands, they still rely on slow-roasted agave, tahona mills, and meticulous distillation methods, ensuring every bottle carries the rich, complex flavors of handcrafted tequila.

Did you know? Siete Leguas was the original distillery behind the first batches of Patrón Tequila! That same dedication to quality, tradition, and authenticity continues today, making their tequila one of the most respected in the world.

The Art of Tequila-Making: From Agave to Glass🔥 Slow-Roasting in Stone OvensAt Siete Leguas, agave piñas are roasted in traditional stone ovens—a crucial step that allows natural caramelization and deep flavor development, unlike the rapid, industrialized methods used in mass production.

🛠️ Tahona Milling: A Centuries-Old CraftThe roasted agave is then crushed using a tahona stone mill, a labor-intensive yet highly effective method that extracts the richest flavors and maintains the agave’s natural essence.

🍶 Artisanal DistillationDouble-distilled in small copper pot stills, Siete Leguas tequilas develop incredible complexity and smoothness, with no need for additives or shortcuts.

Why We Love Siete Leguas at Aroma ThymeSiete Leguas represents everything we value in a great tequila--handcrafted, traditionally made, and 100% pure agave. No additives, no artificial enhancements—just real, honest tequila the way it was meant to be.
