The Lost Explorer Mezcal Tobalá is a small-batch artisanal mezcal made from wild Tobalá agave — a rare, slow-growing varietal harvested from high-altitude canyons in Oaxaca.

Known as the “explorer agave,” Tobalá grows wild in arid, shaded, high-altitude terrain and is far smaller and scarcer than cultivated agave, which makes it prized among mezcal lovers. The Lost Explorer produces its mezcal sustainably in San Dionisio Ocótepec, Oaxaca, using traditional methods for an earthy, expressive spirit.
