Review: Lobos 1707 Reposado Tequila
Lobos 1707 Reposado is one of three tequila expressions in the Lobos tequila product line. The others include Lobos 1707 Joven, and Lobos 1707 Extra Anejo. They also craft Lobos 1707 Mezcal. The spirits were created as collaboration between a Spanish Master Distiller who has created sherries and brandies for almost 50 years and a Master Distiller from Mexico who has focused on tequila. LeBron James and Maverick Carter are two of the sport celebrity investors. Lobos 1707 Reposado is made from 100% Blue Weber agave grown in the rich soil of Altos de Jalisco. Once distilled the spirit rests for 6 months in American white oak. A portion of the brands extra anejo tequila is added prior to finishing in Pedro Ximenez “PX” wine barrels using the solera system method. The nose leads with vanilla, red wine, oak, and agave. Additional time brings out cocoa. The sweet agave and grape entry has a very soft mouth feel. Vanilla arrives and is joined by coffee notes at the midpoint. It fades with cocoa and finishes lightly bittersweet with notes of sherry, oak, caramel, and vanilla custard. Lobos 1707 Reposado is a smooth and tasty tequila created by two craftsman unafraid to break the reposado norms.
