Twelve years of patient cultivation in the highlands of Oaxaca have shaped this Salmiana mezcal into something quietly extraordinary. The Lost Explorer draws from one of agave's most resilient and expressive varieties to deliver a spirit that rewards every sip.

Sourced from the storied mezcal country surrounding San Pablo Huixtepec, Oaxaca, this expression is built on Salmiana agave matured for 12 years before harvest. The result is a herbaceous, layered mezcal that carries the wild character of the agave alongside the mineral soul of its terroir.

Nose: Green chili, grapefruit peel, and fresh agave after rainfall
Palate: Sweet and bright, with fresh citrus and dried herbs
Finish: Spicy and lingering, with earthy and mineral notes

The herbaceous depth and citrus brightness of this mezcal make it a natural companion in a Mezcal Negroni or a simple Mezcal Sour, where its complexity can shine without being overwhelmed.

Best enjoyed neat or over a large ice cube to let the aromas fully open. A distinctive Salmiana mezcal from San Pablo Huixtepec, Oaxaca, and an ideal pairing alongside olives and a touch of demerara.
