About this bottle
The Lost Explorer Espadín is a mezcal made from Espadín agave, the most widely cultivated variety in Oaxaca, harvested here at around 8 years of maturity — the "8 year" refers to the agave's age, not time spent in a barrel, since this expression is unaged. Espadín is the backbone of most commercial mezcal because it's reliable to grow and gives a balanced, approachable profile, making it a good entry point into the brand's range. Expect roasted agave and smoke up front, with citrus and a light herbal note underneath, and a clean, moderately smoky finish. It's a solid choice for anyone new to single-agave mezcal.
How to drink The Lost Explorer Espadín
Neat, in a small glass, is the way to actually taste it — mezcal like this loses a lot of nuance over ice. It also works as the base of a mezcal margarita if you want the smoke to carry through a cocktail.

Questions about this bottle
What's the best way to serve The Lost Explorer Espadín?
Sip it neat from a small clay or glass copita at room temperature. Once opened, it keeps well for a year or more stored upright away from light.
What does the "8 year" on the label mean?
It refers to how long the Espadín agave took to reach harvest, not barrel aging — this is a joven mezcal bottled unaged, so the number describes the plant's age, not time in wood.
Why is Espadín the most common mezcal agave?
Espadín is the backbone of most commercial mezcal because it's reliable to cultivate and gives a consistent, roasted-agave base that other agave varieties are often compared against.
