The Lost Explorer Mezcal: A Spirited Journey into Mexico's Rich Agave Tradition

What is The Lost Explorer Mezcal?

The Lost Explorer Mezcal is handcrafted, artisanal mezcal brand that unearths the centuries-old techniques and traditions of Oaxaca, Mexico. Started in 2018, this Mexican mezcal brand prides itself on crafting its spirits from three types of agave: Espadín, Tobalá, and Salmiana, each offering a unique tasting experience. From its smoky notes to its sustainable farming practices, the brand tells a story of respect for the land, commitment to environmental stewardship, and deep-rooted tradition that's reflected in every bottle.

What is the history of The Lost Explorer Mezcal?

The Lost Explorer Mezcal was established by David de Rothschild and Thor Björgólfsson. Driven by a shared love for Mexican culture, these global entrepreneurs aimed to enrich and celebrate the expertise of mezcal's master producers and the sustainable methods that they have honed over generations. The rich, diverse terroir of Oaxaca serves as the brand’s canvass, while the meticulously hand-harvested agave at the peak of maturation are their paints. They seek out rare, wild agave species, adhering to fair-trade principles, and taking considerable steps to ensure the sustainable reproduction of the agave. Thus, The Lost Explorer Mezcal honors the past, savors the present, and sows the seeds of sustainability for the future.
