The Lost Explorer Tobala Mezcal - 200ml is a Mezcal from the The Lost Explorer Mezcal brand crafted in Mexico.
The Lost Explorer Tobala Mezcal showcases the rare and wild Tobala agave, known for its complex flavor profile and limited availability. Interestingly, Tobala agaves can only be harvested in the wild at high altitudes, often growing under oak trees, and take up to 15 years to mature, making each bottle a testament to patience and nature's unpredictability.
The Lost Explorer Tobala Mezcal stands out for its use of rare, wild-harvested tobala agave, which grows only at high altitudes and takes up to 15 years to mature. This 200ml bottle offers cocktail enthusiasts a chance to experience the complex, earthy flavors of a premium small-batch mezcal, with notes of wood, leather, and tropical fruit that add depth and intrigue to mixed drinks.
The Lost Explorer Tobala Mezcal shines when sipped neat or with a single large ice cube, allowing its complex flavors to unfold on the palate. This smoky spirit also works wonderfully in agave-forward cocktails, particularly those with citrus notes, and pairs beautifully with grilled meats or spicy Mexican dishes, making it an ideal choice for warm summer evenings or cozy fall gatherings around a fire pit.
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.
