Lobos 1707 Tequila & Mezcal

Lobos 1707 Tequila & Mezcal is a new independent spirits brand that just launched their full trademark in the U.S. and Mexico.

Lobos 1707, named after the Spanish word for “wolves,” is led by Founder and Chief Creative Officer Diego Osorio and Chief Executive Officer Dia Simms, with early backing by sports and cultural icon, LeBron James.

Initial offerings from Lobos 1707 include their Joven, Reposado, Extra Añejo and Mezcal Artesanal. Each reflects the traditional Mexican distillation and aging process, the company says, and is finished in Pedro Ximenez (PX) wine barrels from Spain.

Company-provided tasting and production notes are as follows:

• Lobos 1707 Mezcal Artesanal: Flavors of 100% espadin agave roasting in an open Oaxacan fire pit. The liquid is then ground in an Egyptian stone mill, producing a smoky liquid with a subtle burn of spice. The suggested retail price is $54.99.
