Lobos 1707 Tequilas are born in the nutrient-rich soils of Altos de Jalisco as blue weber agave plants, with its Mezcal deriving from the steep slopes of the Oaxacan Sierra from espadin agave. Honouring rich traditions, Lobos 1707's unique process and world class product is created by Master Distillers from both Mexico and Spain, representing the best of both worlds.

"We're incredibly proud of the product we have created and are thrilled to introduce Lobos 1707 to Canadians," said Founder and Chief Creative Officer Diego Osorio. "Our goal with Lobos 1707 was to create a brand that encourages unity, legacy and authenticity, and the Canadian market is one that whole-heartedly embodies these core values."  

Lobos 1707 is the culmination of many hands and hearts. The brand is centred around its mantra of inclusivity, Build a Bigger table, which speaks to representation, the strength of community, and that every individual has something to contribute and bring to the table. From founders and investors, to jimadors, distillers, mixologists, industry leaders and collaborators, Lobos 1707 believes every individual has a seat at the table.

"Lobos 1707 is about bringing people together and creating a community that everyone can be part of," said LeBron James. "We look forward to officially welcoming Canadians to our pack."

Behind the rapidly growing Lobos 1707 brand is an impressive roster of investors supporting the Canadian launch including Toronto Raptors' Fred VanVleet and Vinay Virmani, Partner and Chief Content Officer of UNINTERRUPTED Canada — an athlete empowerment brand founded by LeBron James and Maverick Carter.
