Why We Love It
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. As a bonus, The Lost Explorer Tequila was named Best Blanco in the World according to the Latin American Spirit Awards.
How to Drink It
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
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.
How It's Made
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.
