The Lost Explorer Salmiana is a 100% agave mezcal made from Salmiana agave that grows for 12 years before harvest, bottled at 42% ABV.
It is crafted in San Pablo Huixtepec, Oaxaca, and double distilled. The Salmiana is the most herbaceous expression of The Lost Explorer range, offering a sweet and spicy profile with hints of green chilli, grapefruit and fresh agave.
The aroma brings green chilli, grapefruit peel and fresh agave after rainfall. The taste is sweet, with fresh citrus and dried herbs, and the finish is spicy, with earthy and mineral notes.
Its elegant, illustrated bottle makes it a lovely gift for mezcal lovers who prefer the green, herbal side of agave.
Sip it slowly from a copita at room temperature.
Mezcal is made by roasting agave hearts, traditionally in earthen pits, then crushing, fermenting and distilling them, a process that gives the spirit its characteristic smoky depth. Each agave variety and each village brings its own character, which is why enthusiasts love exploring small-batch bottlings.
Mezcal and other agave spirits are traditionally sipped from a copita or a small clay cup, in small sips, often alongside orange slices dusted with sal de gusano. Many are made in tiny batches by individual families, so each bottle is a snapshot of a particular place, agave and season.
