Casa Siete Leguas

Casa Siete Leguas was founded in 1952 by Ignacio González Vargas and his wife María Amparo De Anda Franco in Atotonilco el Alto, in the Los Altos region of Jalisco. The tequila's name honors Siete Leguas, the horse ridden by General Francisco Villa, said to have covered the roughly eight-mile distance between towns without faltering — the site frames the reference as one of perseverance and reliability, values the house applies to its own production history.

The distillery has operated in the same Los Altos region since its founding, land the company's own site describes as Jalisco's agricultural heartland for agave. The house identifies its production as artisanal from the outset, built on the region's red soil and multigenerational family ownership rather than industrial-scale expansion since the 1950s.

The official site, as fetched, does not itemize specific technical details — such as tahona use, exact agave-cooking method, or fermentation vessel type — so those specifics are not asserted here. What is documented directly from the producer is the 1952 founding date, the founding family, the Atotonilco el Alto / Los Altos location, and the house's stated commitment to artisanal, regionally rooted production over seven decades.
