Ultramundo is an important agroforestry project. The goal is to foster a balanced relationship with nature. They produce mezcal using agaves from a 24,000-acre ranch in Mapimí, Durango, Mexico´s Silent Zone. This area in northwestern Durango is known as a hotspot for UFO sitings, and the ranch where the wild Maguey Lamparillo is harvested is one of Mexico's most rugged and rural terrains. The agave is caponed either by hand or naturally by the animals that graze the land. At least twenty percent of the wild mature agave found are left to complete the lifecycle: going to seed and regenerating the species. Milling: By hand with an ax. Fermentation: Wild, ambient yeast in open-air, in-ground, oak-lined wells for two to four days (depending on the season). Distillation: Twice in a wood-fired copper pot with an oak wood condenser and a copper coil. This is an exceptional and delicious product of place that offers exquisite quality and unbelievable depth of flavor.
