The Lost Explorer Mezcal is a small batch handcrafted mezcal cultivated on ancestral Miztec land in the sun-soaked Valles Centrales, Oaxaca. The company set out with a mission to create a brand that empowers people to explore and appreciate their environment, foster social good and promote curious living. Crafted using the expertise of multi-award winning Maestro Mezcalero Don Fortino Ramos, the small batch spirit is a toast to empowering sustainable Mexican enterprise and protecting the ancient artisanal craft, heritage and biodiversity of Mexico. Harvested in harmony with the elements and in tune with the rhythm of nature, the three uniquely profiled varietals - Espadín, Salmiana and Tobalá - will inspire consumers to live curiously and explore the wonder and diversity of the sacred agave.

About a year ago, Belmond came to us with a very curious invitation. They asked us to create a custom batch of an exclusive mezcal to share a piece of Oaxaca with guests. We're so excited to launch this very small batch mezcal: a Tobasiche. In partnership with Maroma, A Belmond Hotel, this mezcal was hand-selected by the expert beverage team at Belmond and crafted to perfection by Maestro Mezcalero Fortino, expressing notes of tobacco, caramel, leather, and grapefruit peel. This beautiful mezcal is the result of months of shared ideas, shared curiosity, and a visit to our palenque in Oaxaca. At Belmond Maroma, guests can find this special Lost Explorer Tobasiche in-room, and at Bambuco, the hotel's intimate cocktail lounge which offers some of the best mezcals of all Mexico. Our Tobasiche will be incorporated into a selection of Bambuco's new cocktails, including "Solteco" comprising of The Lost Explorer Tobasiche Mezcal, watermelon, chili syrup, and citrus. You can find this limited edition run only at Belmond Maroma for now, but don't worry, we're continuing ever onward with our experimenting, perfecting, tinkering, exploring for more exciting things to come 🌱

Hoy estoy feliz de compartir un momento muy importante en mi vida con el tequila y el agave. Con el lanzamiento del tequila The Lost Explorer y después de tantos años haciendo tequilas, tendremos el primero bajo mi propio nombre, con el gran orgullo y compromiso que representa. Mi asociación con Lost Explorer se basa principalmente a que encontré personas con los mismos valores, principios y compromiso de hacer un producto de alta calidad, auténtico y de excelencia, enamorados del agave. Juntos, hemos creado un tequila, que es un reto para mí, ya que es en pequeños lotes, con agaves y producción en el Valle de Jalisco, que representa nuevas notas y sabores, el tequila blanco, disponible en abril, es herbáceo, cítrico, mineral y especioso, muy complejo pero a la vez suave y fresco. Este proyecto es la realización de una visión compartida de estar en los más altos límites de las bebidas espirituosas de agave, invitando a los entusiastas de esta categoría a compartir con nosotros estos grandes sabores, basados en una calidad insuperable. Es un honor embarcarme en este nuevo capítulo, espero que me acompañen.

"In The Lost Explorer, I found people with my values and principles, with my way of doing things, and today it’s become a reality…being together to launch a new tequila with new flavours, new aromas, and a completely new level of excellence." — Enrique de Colsa The Lost Explorer Tequila is a small-batch, additive-free tequila specially made in the lowlands, produced in our distillery that has our own NOM, reflecting our commitment to authentic and extremely high quality tequila production.
