Nose: Earthy agave notes blend with hints of citrus and green herbs. A subtle smokiness emerges, accompanied by mineral undertones and a touch of white pepper.
Palate: Rich and complex, with roasted agave at the forefront. Flavors of cooked tropical fruits, particularly pineapple and mango, mingle with notes of vanilla and cinnamon. A gentle smokiness persists, balanced by a slight minerality and hints of dark chocolate.
Finish: Long and warming, with lingering notes of roasted agave and smoke. Subtle spice and fruit flavors fade gradually, leaving a pleasant earthiness and a touch of sweetness on the tongue.
The Lost Explorer Tobala Mezcal is crafted using wild agave tobala plants, which are hand-harvested from high-altitude forests in Oaxaca. These rare, small agaves are roasted in earthen pit ovens, crushed by a traditional tahona wheel, naturally fermented in wooden vats, and double-distilled in copper pot stills, resulting in a complex and nuanced spirit that captures the essence of its terroir.
