Ultramundo, Lamparillo Joven, Mezcal Artesanal (48%, 70cl)

Ultramundo Lamparillo from Benjamín Ávila is a unique mezcal, meticulously crafted by hand. The agaves are milled with an ax, then fermented with wild yeast in open-air, in-ground, oak-lined wells for two to four days. The fermented agave is distilled twice in a wood-fired copper pot with an oak wood condenser. This mezcal is a product of Ultramundo Mezcal, an agroforestry project dedicated to fostering a balanced relationship with nature through artisanal mezcal. They use agaves from their 24,000-acre ranch in Mapimí, Durango, and leave at least 20% of the mature agaves to seed and regenerate their population. This commitment to sustainability and traditional methods results in a mezcal that is both delicious and environmentally conscious.
