The Lost Explorer Salmiana 12 Year Mezcal (200ml)

Product Description

The Lost Explorer Salmiana 12 Year Mezcal 200ml is a refined, small-format expression curated by blackbook for agave enthusiasts seeking rare varietals and elevated complexity. Crafted from 100% Salmiana agave, which matures over approximately 12 years, this mezcal showcases a distinctive highland character with herbal depth and subtle spice.

Produced using traditional methods—including pit-roasting and copper pot distillation—Salmiana 12 Year offers a profile that is drier and more structured than Espadín, with nuanced minerality and restrained smoke. The result is an elegant, contemplative mezcal that emphasizes terroir and agave purity.

The 200ml format makes this a perfect tasting bottle, collector’s sampler, or premium gift option—ideal for exploring wild and less common agave varieties without committing to a full-size bottle.

At blackbook, we spotlight mezcals that honor craft and origin. The Lost Explorer Salmiana 12 Year does exactly that—distinctive, expressive, and rooted in tradition.
