If you’re a mezcal fan, you already know about Lost Explorer. This award-winning brand makes a handful of well-known small batch mezcals. Thanks to a partnership with Maestro Tequilero Enrique de Colsa, it’s set to release its first-ever tequila.

The first tequila expression from The Lost Explorer is (unsurprisingly) a blanco tequila. This small-batch, 100% Blue Weber agave tequila was made at the El Magnífico distillery in the Valles region near El Arenal, Jalisco. It’s double-distilled and made with regenerative harvesting practices to ensure sustainability.

According to the brand, this expression has notable agave-forward flavors like citrus, herbs, cinnamon, and a gentle minerality.

“We are thrilled to unveil our tequila, a natural evolution of our agave spirits brand which seeks to inspire people to celebrate the earth and live curiously,” Tanya Clarke, CEO of The Lost Explorer said in a press release. “With Enrique at the helm, and the Valley of Tequila as our canvas, each bottle tells a story of craftsmanship, terroir, and a dedication to producing a superb tequila made with the rhythm of nature.”
