Step outside the usual with three spirits that will elevate your liquor cabinet at home, or your Friday night out.
The Lost Explorer mezcal
Smoky, sweet, herbaceous – there's no simple way to define the taste of mezcal. To create this enigmatic spirit, the heart of the agave is cultivated, then cooked in an earth oven, which gives the spirit its smoky flavour. But the plant, the production method, all have an impact on the final flavour.
Take a journey across its varied and complex flavour profile with The Lost Explorer's range of three mezcals: Espadín, Tobala and Salmiana - which has recently hit NZ shores. Sustainability is at the heart of this artisanal Oaxaca brand, with environmental and social initiatives in place, such as protecting biodiversity by agave replanting, and ensuring local producers have a stake in the business.
Launched in 2020, The Lost Explorer is already the most awarded mezcal in the world – you can enjoy a glass (and incredible bar snacks) or pick up a bottle to go at Auckland's La Fuente Wine & Mezcal bar. lafuente.co.nz
