The Lobos 1707 Mezcal Artesanal is gradual, smoky and sultry. The spirit is created from 100% Espadín agave, roasted in an open, conical Oaxacan fire pit, then ground in an Egyptian stone mill, resulting in a stealthily smooth liquid whose flavor experience is deep, affecting, and will leave its mark with the subtle warmth of spice. All of Lobos 1707’s variations are aged in PX (Pedro Ximénez) Sherry Wine barrels, which results in their product being additive-free and exceptional in taste.
