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 Cenizo
Maguey Cenizo (also referenced as Agave durangensis) is a wild-growing agave native to the high-altitude, semi-arid hills of Durango, Mexico, where it thrives in cool, dry conditions up to 8 500 ft. It typically forms medium-sized rosettes with gray-glaucous leaves and takes about 10–12 years or more to mature. Because of its dense core and low moisture content, mezcal made from Cenizo often offers a taut minerality, with ashen, herbal or peppery notes overlaid by subtle tropical-fruit or stone-fruit aromas.
