Ultramundo Mezcal Maguey Lamparillo

Ultramundo Mezcal Maguey Lamparillo is an artisanal spirit crafted exclusively from wild Maguey Lamparillo (Agave asperrima) harvested on the 24.000-acre Pelayo Ranch in Mapimí. Durango. Mexico. This region. known as La Zona del Silencio. is renowned for its unique electromagnetic properties and rich biodiversity.

Production Process:

• Agave Harvesting: The agaves mature for approximately 15 years. Once mature. they are caponed—cutting the flowering stalk to concentrate sugars—and left in the ground for an additional 4 to 10 months to enhance flavor complexity.
  
  
• Cooking: The agaves are cooked in an underground. volcanic stone-lined pit oven using mesquite and pine firewood over three days. imparting a distinctive smoky character.
  
  
• Milling: After cooking. the agaves are milled by hand with an axe. a traditional method that preserves the integrity of the plant fibers.
  
  
• Fermentation: The milled agave is fermented with wild. ambient yeast in open-air. in-ground oak-lined wells for two to four days. depending on the season. allowing natural flavors to develop.
  
  
• Distillation: The fermented mash undergoes double distillation in a wood-fired copper pot still with an oak wood condenser and a copper coil. resulting in a refined and complex mezcal.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Bright and fresh. with notes of grapefruit zest and lemongrass.
  
  
• Palate: Sustained minerality across the palate and finish. complemented by the fresh flavors of grapefruit zest and lemongrass.
