Lobos Tequila Joven

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Lobos Tequila Joven is like a sunlit breeze over agave fields, bright and inviting with a silken texture that lingers on the palate. Crafted in Mexico, this tequila balances youthful vibrancy with subtle depth, offering notes of roasted agave, citrus zest, and a gentle peppery finish that feels both lively and refined. With an alcohol by volume of 40.00%, it stands up beautifully alongside fresh ceviche or grilled shrimp, enhancing the briny sweetness of seafood while adding its own crisp character to every bite.

Producer Information: Lobos 1707

Lobos 1707 is a premium spirits producer rooted in both Spanish and Mexican heritage, founded by Diego Osorio with the support of basketball icon LeBron James. Drawing inspiration from Osorio’s family legacy dating back to 1707 in Spain, Lobos 1707 crafts its tequila and mezcal using traditional Mexican methods combined with a unique finishing process in Pedro Ximénez sherry barrels from Spain, which imparts distinctive depth and complexity. The brand operates primarily out of Jalisco, Mexico for its tequila production and Oaxaca for its mezcal, emphasizing authenticity through small-batch distillation and meticulous aging. Beyond their flagship tequilas—Blanco, Reposado, Extra Añejo—and artisanal mezcal, Lobos 1707 has established itself within the agave spirits category by focusing on cross-cultural techniques that highlight both regional terroir and innovative barrel aging practices.
