With its bold flavor and unique aging process, Lobos 1707 Reposado is the perfect choice for crafting exceptional holiday cocktails.
Crafted with Care: From Agave to Sherry Barrels
Lobos 1707 begins with the finest 100% Blue Weber Agave, cultivated to perfection and distilled into a tequila that’s smooth yet audacious. The magic of Lobos 1707 lies in its meticulous aging and blending process:
American White Oak Barrels: Aged for seven months, the tequila develops a robust, balanced character with notes of wood and spice.
Extra Añejo Infusion: A touch of Lobos 1707’s Extra Añejo is blended into the Reposado, adding depth and complexity.
PX Sherry Cask Finish: Finally, the tequila rests in Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry barrels using the solera method, a technique traditionally reserved for fine wines. This final touch imparts a subtle sweetness and rich aroma, uniting Mexico’s agave heritage with Spain’s sherry tradition.
Tasting Notes: A Symphony of Bold Flavors
Lobos 1707 Reposado is as complex as it is inviting. Each sip reveals layers of character, making it perfect for sipping neat or mixing into cocktails:
Aroma: Hints of white chocolate, burnt caramel, and dried orange peel.
Palate: A delightful blend of dry baking spices, sarsaparilla, and marshmallow.
Finish: Smooth and bold with a lingering warmth, ideal for savoring during the colder months.
