About the product: Ultramundo Mezcal Lamparillo is a rare and compelling expression built around A. Lamparillo, an agave variety seldom seen outside the remote desert regions such as Durango, MX where it grows wild and unhurried. Lamparillo being native to the desert means the plant is able to endure extreme heat and freezing cold temperatures, making this a rare and sturdy species. For mezcal seekers drawn to the road less traveled, this bottling offers a genuine encounter with the unexpected.
