Lobos 1707 Añejo: A Heritage Tequila with Modern Elegance
This December 20th, Art of the Cocktail is proud to feature Lobos 1707 Añejo Tequila, a spirit that beautifully intertwines tradition and innovation. With its roots in Arandas, Jalisco—a region synonymous with tequila excellence—this ultra-premium tequila offers a complex flavor profile crafted for connoisseurs and enthusiasts alike.
Crafted with Tradition and Innovation
Lobos 1707 Añejo is aged for 12 to 18 months in American white oak barrels before being finished in Pedro Ximénez (PX) sherry wine barrels using the Solera method. This meticulous process infuses the tequila with rich, layered flavors while preserving its agave essence. Only 9,000 bottles are produced, each adorned with the signature Lobos wolf head debossed on the bottle and sealed with a dark blue wax cap—a mark of the brand’s attention to detail and artistry.
Tasting Notes: A Symphony of Flavor
On the Nose
The PX sherry finish imparts inviting aromas of dried fruit, roasted agave, and subtle oak, complemented by hints of sweet caramel and vanilla.
On the Palate
Lobos 1707 Añejo is smooth and velvety, delivering an intricate medley of flavors. Notes of honeyed figs, toasted nuts, and dark chocolate dance on the tongue, balanced by the warmth of cinnamon and a touch of spice.
The Finish
Its long, luxurious finish leaves a trail of dried fruit and sherry, with the perfect amount of sweetness lingering on the palate.

Founded by Diego Osorio in 2020 with backing from LeBron James, Lobos 1707 Tequila draws inspiration from a family legacy that spans generations.
