Meet Mezcal Burrito Fiestero Artesanal Joven, a small-batch mezcal from Durango, the northernmost state in mezcal’s denomination of origin. Mezcal from this region is rare, and this bottle is an easygoing introduction to it.

Crafted at the Hacienda de San José Acevedo by Maestro Mezcalero Juan Manuel Conde, this mezcal is made from wild Cenizo agave that takes more than a decade to mature. The piñas are roasted underground in a volcanic rock oven, crushed in a solar-powered mill, and fermented with natural yeasts in wooden tanks. They are then double distilled in copper pot stills with the agave fibers, which adds to the creamy, full-bodied texture.

The result is a crystal-clear, unaged joven mezcal that is fruit-forward, with a gentle, balanced smoke. It sips smoothly neat and is easy for newcomers to enjoy. It also makes a bright base for a Paloma, Mezcal Margarita, or Oaxaca Old Fashioned. 🌵
