The story of The Misplaced Explorer begins with the cultivation of agave within the lowlands of Jalisco, working with celebrated Tequilero Maestro Enrique de Colsa. The Misplaced Explorer Tequila grows their agaves for six to 7 years earlier than distilling them in a devoted facility in small batches, launching their first batch in April 2024. The Misplaced Explorer Tequila Blanco is produced from blue agave, double-distilled in small batches utilizing champagne yeast and no components. Tequila producers choose champagne yeasts for his or her alcohol tolerance and skill to face up to high-pressure situations; these yeasts usually spotlight agave’s balanced and fruity taste profiles.
The packaging and bottle design could be very engaging and expresses a clear and earthy ambiance which is fascinating in an unaged tequila. The nostril is shiny, recent, and stuffed with candy fruit with wafts of white pepper behind and a reminiscence of heat summer season rain. The fruit blossoms into candy tropical fruits and sweet necklace flavors.
Sweeting and peppery flavors arrive first within the preliminary sip. The candy flavors match the nostril effectively — cotton sweet, tropical fruit, and a lingering white pepper observe. The pepper stays within the background with no chunk, which is beautiful. All of the acquainted flavors that you just count on from a high quality tequila blanco are current, however with a little bit extra sweetness than anticipated. Till the end it’s a little bit tough to seek out extra herbaceous flavors, however when you do they hang around on the palate and play effectively with the candy and pepper flavors. Grassy and candy lemon linger on that end, with minerality lastly coming ahead.
The mouthfeel is good; a little bit extra viscous and it would have an effect on the candy flavors negatively — clear however tastes costly. For tequila lovers who not often sip tequila neat and those that are tequila curious with out numerous expertise, this might be a wonderful selection. At the same time as a seasoned tequila drinker, I discovered loads of curiosity and complexity in it.
