The Lost Explorer Reposado Tequila redefines what resting can do for an agave spirit, pursuing a rare triple-cask maturation that few producers dare attempt. Sauternes wine barrels from Bordeaux, Pedro Ximenez sherry casks from Jerez, and Kentucky bourbon barrels each leave their mark on this singular expression.


Crafted by master producers with a philosophy rooted in curiosity and exploration, this reposado tequila draws on the richness of three distinct cask traditions to build a layered complexity that goes far beyond the category standard. The result is a tequila that honors agave at its core while embracing the influence of wine, sherry, and whiskey heritage.


  • Nose: Inviting aromas shaped by three cask influences, with honeyed stone fruit, warm vanilla, and a delicate sherry sweetness lifted by hints of dried fig and toasted oak.
  • Palate: Silky and expressive, with waves of caramel, ripe apricot, baking spice, and a subtle nuttiness from the Pedro Ximenez sherry casks playing against the peppery backbone of the agave.
  • Finish: Long and warming, with lingering notes of bourbon-kissed oak, dark toffee, and a clean agave earthiness that grounds the sweetness beautifully.

The Lost Explorer Reposado shines in an elevated Reposado Old Fashioned, where its layered sweetness and oak depth take center stage, or sipped alongside a classic Paloma to let the fruit-forward cask character complement citrus and grapefruit.


Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube to let the tequila open gradually and reveal its full range of aromas and flavors. A standout expression from The Lost Explorer for any collector or enthusiast seeking something genuinely uncommon in reposado tequila.

The Lost Explorer makes mezcal in Oaxaca and tequila in Jalisco, each with its own maestro. Maestro mezcalero Fortino Ramos, who has spent 40 years distilling mezcal, roasts agave grown 8 to 12 years in earthen pits and brick ovens in San Pablo Huixtepec, ferments it with wild yeast and spring water in open oak vats and double distills in copper alembics. His preferred bottling strength is 42% ABV. In Amatitán, maestro tequilero Enrique de Colsa steam cooks blue agave for 48 to 60 hours in stone ovens, presses it through a roller mill and double distills in small batches. The brand plants three wild agaves for every one it harvests.

Amatitán, Jalisco

Map of Jalisco, Mexico, with Amatitán marked

Amatitán sits in the Tequila valley of Jalisco, a short drive southeast of the town of Tequila. Half of the municipality is flat farmland, mostly red clay soils over volcanic basalt, and blue agave is its main crop in a hot, dry climate with summer rains. Local tradition holds that tequila was first distilled in the nearby Tecuane barranca, where an early distillery site is still a local landmark. Amatitán lies within the Agave Landscape that UNESCO named a World Heritage Site in 2006.
