Nose: Bright, herbaceous agave aromas lead, followed by wisps of smoke and citrus. Hints of green apple and fresh-cut grass provide a crisp, vegetal backdrop.
Palate: Smooth and balanced. Roasted agave sweetness mingles with peppery spice. Notes of lemon zest and green bell pepper add complexity. A subtle earthiness and mild smoke weave throughout.
Finish: Medium-long with lingering warmth. The smoke becomes more pronounced, complemented by a gentle minerality. Faint hints of vanilla and black pepper emerge as the agave flavors slowly fade.
The Lost Explorer Espadin Mezcal is crafted using traditional methods in Oaxaca, Mexico, where ripe agave piñas are roasted in underground pit ovens, crushed by a horse-drawn tahona wheel, and naturally fermented in wooden vats before double distillation in copper stills. What's particularly interesting is that each small batch is overseen by Maestro Mezcalero Don Fortino Ramos, who brings decades of expertise to ensure the mezcal captures the true essence of the espadin agave and the Oaxacan terroir.
