The Lost Explorer Mezcal Salmiana

Product Description

The Lost Explorer Mezcal began as a curiosity of time and the earth. That curiosity has led us to create a small-batch mezcal as a toast to empowering sustainable Mexican enterprise, whilst also protecting the ancient artisanal craft, heritage and biodiversity of Mexico. There is a secret language: the sun speaks to the earth, the wind speaks to the rain, the fire to the fibres of the piña. Our job is to listen to that conversation and nurture a home for its continued discourse. Each of us is born curious, but where does it go and what does it become? We believe in having more questions than answers, in constantly inhabiting the realm of the unknown, for that is where growth happens. We embrace curiosity as a fundamental human sense, letting it guide us in our quest to more deeply understand mezcal, the earth and each other. From the age-old techniques our craftspeople call upon to create The Lost Explorer Mezcal, to the land from where it’s born, we remain forever enamored by Oaxaca; its Nature, people, myths and mysteries, rituals, sunlight, food — it all comes together in this beautiful alchemy.

The agave has made a noble sacrifice for The Lost Explorer Mezcal and we honor that with care for the earth in every step of our process. The Lost Explorer Salmiana is made with agave Salmiana (maguey Verde) in San Pablo Huixtepec, Oaxaca. This is the brand’s most herbaceous expression of all. The bouquet expresses fresh green chili, vibrant grapefruit peel and agave after a rainfall. The citrus notes carry onto the palate with a sweet tint of dried herbs that lead to a spicy finish with even minerality.
