Basketball player LeBron James’s ultra-premium agave spirit brand, Lobos 1707 Tequila & Mezcal, is now carried by Selfridges department shops.

As a member of the Main Street Advisors (MSA) group, James made an investment in the brand in 2020. In the same year, the brand made its US debut.

Lobos 1707 is gathered, distilled, and bottled in Jalisco, Mexico, using only Blue Weber agave. Barrels of American white oak are used to age the liquid, and Pedro Ximénez Sherry barrels are used to finish it.

Diego Osorio, co-founder and chief creative officer, continued, “I am thrilled to announce that Lobos 1707 Tequila & Mezcal is now available in Selfridges and welcome the UK to our wolf pack.” “We invite everyone to come experience our world-class tequila at Selfridges.”
