About Ultramundo
Ultramundo is an artisan mezcal born in the high desert of Durango, produced deep inside a 24,000-acre ranch where agave grows wild on volcanic slopes and arid plains. The brand works primarily with Lamparillo (Agave asperrima), a rare species that can take up to 20 years to mature in this extreme landscape.
Its mezcal is crafted using traditional methods — underground roasting, natural fermentation, and small copper-pot distillation — techniques that preserve the stark, mineral character of the desert. Reviewers highlight Ultramundo’s philosophy of letting the land speak for itself, describing it as a project committed to purity, terroir, and a sense of otherworldliness befitting its name.
About Maguey Lamparillo
Maguey Lamparillo (sometimes identified as Agave asperrima) grows in wild, high-altitude terrain—such as the rocky slopes of Durango’s Nombre de Dios region—where it matures over 15–20 years. Because its core is compact and moisture-limited, mezcal made from Lamparillo often presents a striking minerality coupled with vivid fruit notes (like cantaloupe or watermelon), savory spices and a creamy texture.
