Frequently Asked Questions:

How does Lobos 1707 Mezcal compare to tequila?

Lobos 1707 Mezcal offers more complex, earthy flavors than most tequilas due to the traditional earthen pit roasting process. While tequila uses steam-cooked agave, this mezcal's pit-roasted Espadín agave creates distinctive smoky notes alongside natural agave sweetness. The flavor profile is bolder and more rustic than typical tequila, making it perfect for sipping neat or adding depth to cocktails.

What's the best way to drink this mezcal?

This mezcal shines when sipped neat at room temperature to appreciate its full flavor complexity. Traditional service includes orange slices and sal de gusano (worm salt) to complement the smoky agave notes. It also excels in cocktails like mezcal margaritas, palomas, or substituted for whiskey in an Old Fashioned for a smoky twist.

Is this mezcal suitable for beginners?

Yes, Lobos 1707 Artesanal offers an excellent introduction to mezcal with its balanced profile. The 80-proof strength and harmonious blend of smoke, sweetness, and spice makes it more approachable than many artisanal mezcals while still delivering authentic character. If you enjoy aged tequila or peated Scotch whisky, you'll appreciate this mezcal's complexity.

What makes this an artisanal mezcal?

This mezcal follows traditional production methods including earthen pit roasting of agave hearts, natural fermentation, and copper pot distillation in small batches. Made from 100% Espadín agave by master mezcaleros in Oaxaca, it represents authentic artisanal craftsmanship rather than industrial production, resulting in unique character and complexity in every bottle.

How should I store this mezcal?

Store your mezcal upright in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations. Unlike wine, mezcal doesn't improve with age once bottled, but proper storage maintains its quality indefinitely. Keep the bottle tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and oxidation of the delicate agave flavors.
