Lost Lore, a new tequila brand produced by NOM 1414 – Vivanco & Associates distillery in Arandas, Jalisco, Mexico, uses mature Blue Weber agaves cooked in stone/brick ovens (hornos), with the sugars (aguamiel) extracted using roller mills, fermented with champagne yeast as classical music plays (the “Mozart Method”), double distilled in copper pot stills, & cut to 80 proof (for the regular blanco) using deep well water. The finished tequila is then put into handmade glass bottles with rather striking artwork on its label (and also on the bottles of the reposado and añejo).
The blanco’s production is overseen by master distiller Sergio Cruz. On the nose is sweetness from the cooked agave/baking spices and tropical fruit, an olive vegetal note, salinity and minerality (a wet stone earthiness), and some spearmint. The flavors on the palate are sweeter than the nose suggests at first, leading with cooked agave/baking spices and fruity sweetness with some acidity, minerality/salinity, and that vegetal olive note. The finish is peppery.
