Lobos 1707 Tequila

Lobos 1707 Tequila is a spirit brand specializing in tequila and mezcal. The brand is named after Lobo, a Spanish word meaning wolf. The name is taken quite literally, and the Lobos 1707 team calls themselves a pack, signifying unity and strength in numbers. There are a few different types of Lobos 1707 Tequila you can try; each is fantastic in its own way. 

Reposado

Lobos Reposado is a bold, robust tequila with a more mature flavor profile than the Joven bottle. There are wine, wood, and medium roast cocoa notes that dance across your palette. The liquor rests over six slow months in American white oak barrels. After the aging process is finished, a bit of Extra Añejo is added, then the mixture is finished using the Solera Method in historic PX wine barrels.

The finished product is slightly spicy, very exciting, and quite versatile. It can be used to make tasty cocktails, but it’s great to enjoy as-is too. 

Artesanal Mezcal

The Artesanal Mezcal from Lobos 1707 is smoky with a gradual, subtle spice that creates a sultry-tasting experience. The mezcal is made using 100% Espadin Agave. A traditional Mexican distillation process is used that includes roasting the agave in an open Oxacan fire pit before being ground in an Egyptian stone mill to create a rich, deep flavor profile.

This Artesanal Mezcal is good enough that Mezcal aficionados will be impressed but still approachable enough for the average consumer. If you’ve been looking for the right mezcal to broaden your horizons, this bottle will not disappoint. 

Joven

There’s a common belief that silver tequilas have less flavor than reposado or anejo tequila. While that may be true with other brands, Lobos 1707 has made an ultra-smooth, mature liquor with the Joven bottle. The pure blue agave tequila is blended with a small amount of Lobos Reposado, which adds a ton of flavor while maintaining a classic silver tequila appearance.

The tequila is carbon filtered before aging in the brand’s historic Pedro Ximénez PX wine barrels using the Solera Method, then bottled. This will change how you look at Blanco tequila and take all your favorite tequila cocktails to the next level. 

Extra Anejo

We love every type of tequila, but something about the Extra Añejo bottle from Lobos 1707 is truly extraordinary. The tequila has been refined over hundreds of years since 1707. Each batch is aged for three years in American white oak barrels, then finished by master distillers in PX wine barrels for a robust, lasting flavor. 

The tasting notes in this bottle are similar to Reposado with wine, wood, and medium roast cocoa, but much more intense. Reviewers can’t get enough of this unbelievably smooth spirit, and we understand why!

Lobos 1707 Team

As much as we like to find liquor that tastes great, we like to find a company with a good brand mission even more. Lobos 1707 has proven they’re not afraid to do things in a unique way that other brands would shy away from, and we love it!

Lobos 1707 Team

The most well-known face of the Lobos 1707 team is Lebron James. He is a Lobos 1707 shareholder and actively participates in the brand’s direction.

Lebron makes it a point to get involved in his community through activism and philanthropy, so having him involved in the back end of this brand says a lot. Early backing from Lebron also gained the brand much notoriety in mainstream media.

She is passionate and motivated to bring change for all women and people of color. While Simms is not new to the liquor industry, Lobos 1707 has allowed her to spread her message like never before.

Diego Osorio is the founder and chief creative officer of Lobos 1707. Osorio was a descendant of the brand, so this position is something he’s prepared for. His creative spirit inspires Lobos 1707 to be a brand that showcases unity, authenticity, and unapologetically genuineness.
