What is The Lost Explorer Tequila?

The Lost Explorer Tequila Blanco is a small-batch Mexican distillate crafted by Maestro Tequilero Enrique de Colsa. Stands out for its commitment to sustainability and its unique terroir-driven flavor profile, created from agave grown in the volcanic soils of Jalisco. Interestingly, the distillery employs a special Champagne yeast during fermentation, a technique more commonly associated with fine sparkling wines, which contributes to the tequila's refined and complex character..

Why do we love The Lost Explorer Tequila?

The Lost Explorer Tequila Blanco arises from a unique production process, which includes fermenting the agave mosto with Champagne yeast to create a refined, herbaceous profile with subtle minerality. This small-batch tequila also stands out for its commitment to sustainability and additive-free production, offering a pure expression of the volcanic terroir of Los Valles, Jalisco.

How do you drink The Lost Explorer Tequila?

The Lost Explorer Tequila Blanco shines when sipped neat or slightly chilled, allowing its vibrant citrus and herbaceous notes to take center stage, though it also excels in classic agave-forward cocktails.

Tasting Notes

How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Bright citrus notes of lemon and lime zest, followed by fresh agave sweetness. Hints of green herbs and a touch of white pepper add complexity. Subtle mineral undertones reminiscent of wet stone.

Palate: Smooth and crisp with a medium body. Flavors of ripe agave and citrus fruits dominate, balanced by gentle spice notes of cinnamon and black pepper. A clean, earthy character emerges mid-palate, accompanied by a slight vegetal quality reminiscent of fresh bell peppers.

Finish: Long and warming with lingering citrus and pepper. The mineral notes become more pronounced, leaving a pleasant, slightly drying sensation on the tongue. A final whisper of cinnamon and agave sweetness rounds out the experience.

The Lost Explorer Tequila is crafted using 100% Blue Weber Agave, slow-cooked in traditional stone ovens for 42 hours to unlock rich flavors. What sets it apart is the use of Champagne yeast during fermentation, which contributes to its refined, herbaceous profile, while the double distillation process ensures a smooth, well-balanced spirit that truly captures the essence of the agave.

The Lost Explorer Tequila uses a special Champagne yeast during fermentation, a unique twist that contributes to its refined flavor profile and subtle effervescence – a technique rarely seen in tequila production.

Each bottle of The Lost Explorer Tequila contains a small amount of volcanic obsidian from Jalisco, symbolizing the brand's connection to the region's mineral-rich terroir and adding a touch of mystique to every sip.

The Lost Explorer's commitment to sustainability extends beyond production – for every bottle sold, the company plants an agave plant and adopts a tree, effectively creating a "spirits forest" that helps offset their carbon footprint.
