This is the 200ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Lost Explorer was co-founded by David de Rothschild and Thor Björgólfsson in partnership with Maestro Mezcalero Don Fortino Ramos, who makes the mezcal in San Pablo Huixtepec in the Valles Centrales of Oaxaca. The brand is committed to the sustainable production of high-quality, handcrafted mezcal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSalmiana, known locally as maguey verde, is a large agave traditionally used to make pulque. It is one of agave's most resilient and expressive varieties, and here it is given twelve years of patient cultivation before harvest. The 12 on the label refers to the age of the agave: the mezcal itself is unaged, so its character comes straight from the plant and the craft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the brand's most herbaceous expression of all, offering a sweet and spicy profile. On the nose, Salmiana expresses fresh green chili, vibrant grapefruit peel and agave after a rainfall. The citrus notes carry onto the palate with a sweet tint of dried herbs, leading to a spicy finish with even minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBottled in hand-labeled bottles of recycled crystal, the 200ml size is an ideal way to explore a rarely seen agave, or to taste it side by side with the brand's Espadín and Tobalá.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fresh green chili, grapefruit peel, agave after rainfall.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet, fresh citrus, dried herbs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spicy, with even minerality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Lost Explorer, Maestro Mezcalero Don Fortino Ramos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e San Pablo Huixtepec, Oaxaca\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Salmiana (maguey verde), 12 years old\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Joven (unaged), artisanal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 84 proof (42% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat at room temperature; try it alongside green olives and a touch of demerara sugar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the 12 mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Salmiana agave grew for 12 years before harvest; the mezcal itself is unaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Salmiana agave?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA large agave, known as maguey verde, traditionally used for pulque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does it taste like?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHerbaceous, with green chili, grapefruit peel and a spicy, mineral finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mezcal\"\u003eMezcal collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Lost Explorer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68031596265781,"sku":"VWS200434566","price":33.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-30623.webp?v=1793746861","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/the-lost-explorer-salmiana-12-year-mezcal-200ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
