history
The founder of Casa Siete Leguas, Ignacio González Vargas, was an ardent admirer of the northern Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa . Therefore he named the Tequilera he founded in 1952 and the first product from this distillery after his favorite horse Villas. The name comes from the outdated - and originally imported from Spain - unit of measurement Legua , which in Mexico corresponded to a length of 4,190 meters.
