Product Description
Made from wild Verde agave (A. salmiana) in San Nicolás de Acevedo, Durango, this mezcal is crafted via true ancestral distillation—yet remains remarkably approachable. The nose features fresh herbs, moist earth, and ground mint; the palate delivers layered vegetal character, green chili, roasted agave and saline minerality. A long, dry finish with subtle floral echoes closes the experience.
About Burrito Fiestero Mezcal
Burrito Fiestero is a craft mezcal brand rooted in the rugged terrain of northern Mexico, committed to wild-grown agave and artisanal techniques that reflect the spirit of Durango. According to a detailed profile, the brand is based near Nombre de Dios, Durango, and works with wild Cenizo (Agave durangensis) matured for around 12 years before harvest.
They roast their agave underground in volcanic-stone ovens and follow fermentation in open wood tanks, followed by double-distillation in copper alembics — all underscoring a hands-on, heritage approach to production.
About Mezcal Verde
Maguey Verde (also called “verde” due to its deep-green leaves) belongs to the Agave salmiana family and typically thrives in semi-arid highlands of northern Mexico. It tends to form large rosettes with wide, fleshy leaves and a substantial piña, gestating more slowly than cultivated agaves. Because of its dense core and lower water content, mezcal made from Verde often displays strong mineral and herbal character, with vivid green-pepper and vegetal notes alongside subtle sweetness.
