Lost Explorer Espadín Mezcal takes you on an enchanting journey into the heart of Oaxaca's mezcal craftsmanship. Distilled in San Pablo Huixtepec, this mezcal is a testament to sustainable practices and meticulous artistry. Crafted from 100% Agave Angustifolia, each plant is nurtured for 8 years, allowing the Espadín agave to develop a subtly sweet and herbaceous flavor profile, elegantly balanced with notes of red apple, ripe fruits, and a delicate smokiness.

Upon your first encounter, this exceptional mezcal captivates your senses with the alluring scent of fresh herbs harmonizing seamlessly with gentle hints of wood, reminiscent of evenings around a fire pit. When you take that initial sip, prepare for an extraordinary flavor journey that unfolds on your palate. The chopped agave imparts a unique earthiness, complemented by the subtle smokiness of mesquite wood. Your taste buds will then delight in the unexpected sweetness of red apple and the rich, luscious notes of ripe fruits, intricately woven to create a truly multidimensional sensory experience.

The extraordinary journey with Lost Explorer Espadín Mezcal doesn't conclude with the taste; the finish is smooth and fruity, lingering delightfully on your palate. Just when you think it's concluded, a final intriguing twist emerges: a slightly smoked wood finish that harks back to the essence of the fire pit that started it all. This lasting impression beckons you to explore further. This mezcal embodies the harmony of nature, beginning with the agaves' 8-12 years of maturation in the arid Valles Centrales. Hand-harvested by skilled jimadores, the piñas are meticulously selected at the peak of ripeness by Maestro Mezcalero Don Fortino Ramos. Earthy ovens lined with volcanic rock, infused with local wood, soil, and stones, create the perfect roasting environment. After milling, the agave ferments naturally, with unique wild yeasts contributing to the distinct character of Lost Explorer Espadín Mezcal. Double-distilled in copper alembic stills, this mezcal achieves a harmonious balance at 42% ABV before being presented in eco-conscious glass bottles, hand-labeled, sealed with natural biodegradable cork, and adorned with a kiss of natural beeswax. It's a masterpiece waiting to be discovered, inviting you to savor the essence of sustainable mezcal-making.
