Other Info: For those who do not already know, 7 Leguas is the original Patron.
When Patron first started it was produced by the 1120 NOM. Early bottles of Patron
actually had the 7 Leguas horse on the bottle and later bottles showed the Patron bee
but continued to show the 1120 NOM. Unfortunately, as Patron got a larger demand
they eventually left 7 Leguas and moved to their current distillery and new NOM
number.
The 7 Leguas story is told on their website. Here is an excerpt from the website:
"Based in Atotonilco el Alto in Jalisco, Mexico, Casa 7 Leguas counts more than 50
years’ experience in the making of tequila by means of traditional processes. Our
company’s most outstanding achievements are our full-bodied, high quality spirits of
refined flavor.
A central character in revolutionary days was Pancho Villa, who, riding his horse Seven
Leagues (7 Leguas) swept a great expanse of the Mexican land. Though Villa had a lot
of detractors, he also had his share of followers. One of the General’s greatest
admirers was Don Ignacio Gonzalez Vargas, a proud, enterprising Mexican, who in a
show of affection for the Centaur of the North, named his own tequila after Pancho Villa’
s favorite horse. Thus, Tequila 7 Leguas was born."
