Sonora Moonshine is proud to present a Guided Mezcal Tasting in partnership with The Lost Explorer Mezcal as part of the Agave Heritage Festival.
Delve into the world of artisanal mezcal with an expert-led guided tasting featuring The Lost Explorer Mezcal, presented by Sonora Moonshine as part of the Agave Heritage Festival. This intimate experience will take you beyond the glass, exploring mezcal’s deep cultural significance, traditional production techniques, and the nuances that make each expression unique.
Featured Expressions & Pairings:
Espadín – The most widely cultivated mezcal agave, known for its balance of smoke, fruit, and earth. Paired with citrus and sal de gusano to enhance its complexity.
Tobalá – A wild, high-altitude agave, prized for its floral and herbal notes with a rich, velvety texture. Paired with dark chocolate and sea salt to complement its depth.
Salmiana – A lesser-known agave with bold minerality and bright vegetal notes, offering a crisp, vibrant profile. Paired with manzanilla olives to highlight its briny, green character.
Guided by a mezcal expert, guests will explore the ancestral and artisanal production methods that give mezcal its signature character—from underground pit roasting and slow fermentation to small-batch copper still distillation. Learn how regional factors such as altitude, soil composition, and agave species influence each sip, creating a tasting experience that is both educational and sensory-driven.
