Lobos 1707 Mezcal Artesanal

A Oaxaca Mezcal made from 1005 Espadín agave and roasted outdoors in fire for a smoky-sweet profile..

Lobos 1707 is a new Tequila brand founded by Diego Osorio — launching in November of 2020. To bring his vision to life, he has partnered with industry veteran Dia Simms and some notable investors — including basketball great Lebron James. They have launched with a full line of Tequilas — Joven, Reposado, and Añejo — and one Mezcal. The agave plants are grown in high-altitude volcanic soils and the entire line is crafted in Los Altos — the highland region of Jalisco.

Lobos 1707 Mezcal Artesanal could not be more different from its sisters in the Lobos 1707 lineup. It hails from Oaxaca where the 100% Espadín agave piñas are harvested with traditional hand tools and roasted in large, open-air fire pits and ground with a large Egyptian stone wheel. The effect is striking — a deeply nuanced Mezcal with a decidedly smoky-earthy profile. It’s a little like what you might expect if they made Mezcal on the island of Islay — a solid traditional dram of Mexican Spirit with a whiff of the underworld in every sip.

Smartass Corner:
In Spanish, Lobos means "wolves," whose image is reflected in the company logo.
