The Lost Explorer Espadin Mezcal
Agave aficionado The Lost Explorer has created this joven mezcal with the well-loved Espadín agave, grown to full maturity and harvested at eight years old! The variety of agave is commonly used for good reason, adding oodles of ripe fruit among the smokier notes. Wood smoke and dried, singed herbs, with yellow plum and roasted agave sweetness.
The Lost Explorer Mezcal
The Lost Explorer Mezcal is an artisanal spirit from Oaxaca, Mexico. It is known for its unique taste and eco-friendly production. This mezcal is about exploring and respecting nature.
History and Philosophy
The mezcal started with David de Rothschild, a British environmentalist, and Don Fortino Ramos, a Master Mezcalero. The brand focuses on exploration, sustainability, and nature. It aims to make high-quality mezcal and promote sustainable practices and mezcal`s cultural heritage.
Production Process
They make the Lost Explorer Mezcal using traditional methods and great care. It starts with harvesting agave plants from Oaxaca`s soil. The main type is Espadín agave, which takes up to eight years to mature.
After harvesting, they cook the agave hearts, or piñas, in a pit with volcanic stones. This method uses wood and local stones and gives the agave a smoky taste. Next, they crush the agave with a tahona stone, ferment it with natural yeasts, and distil it in copper stills. This respects mezcal`s traditions and ensures high quality.
Espadín
This mezcal is balanced and easy to approach. It has herbal and subtle smoky notes. It`s a good start for exploring mezcal.
Tobalá
Made from wild agave, Tobalá has a floral and nuanced flavour. It has hints of tropical fruit and a smooth finish.
Salmiana
Salmiana stands out with earthy and vegetal flavours. It offers a bolder taste for those who like intense mezcal.
Sustainability and Community Engagement
Sustainability is key to the Lost Explorer Mezcal. They use solar energy and save water. They also plant ten agave plants for each one they harvest.
