There are notes of walnuts, caramel, and vanilla on the palate, which means it’s a shot of tequila, not a mix of tequila (of course, you can drink it however you want). “Our team at Lobos 1707 is so grateful to everyone who supported the debut of the newest member of the Lobos pack, helping to enhance your day and night life,” Osorio said in a press release. The folks behind this award-winning liquid are bringing back Lobos 1707 Limited Edition Añejo.”
