History
Diego Osorio launched Lobos 1707 aiming to recreate a process inspired by the 16th-century voyages of his ancestor. It resulted in bringing Spanish oak barrels filled with Mexican agave liquor back to Spain.[1] The company was launched on November 18, 2020 in New York, California, and Florida.[2]
Basketball player LeBron James was an early investor.[3] He met Osorio through financial advisor Paul Wachter.[4]
On March 19, 2021, Lobos 1707 announced their expansion into the Canadian market, with sales through the Liquor Control Board of Ontario.[5]
