Burrito Fiestro Mezcal Ancestral Masparillo is a rare expression rooted in Mexico's oldest mezcal-making traditions, crafted from the wild-harvested masparillo agave using techniques passed down through generations of Oaxacan artisans.


Ancestral mezcal represents the most uncompromising category of production, requiring stone-baked agave hearts, tahona or wooden mallet crushing, open-air fermentation in natural containers, and distillation in clay or wood pot stills. The masparillo agave, a lesser-known wild varietal prized for its intensity and complexity, lends this mezcal a character that is deeply earthy, untamed, and utterly singular.


  • Nose: Wild agave, roasted earth, wood smoke, dried herbs, and subtle mineral notes with hints of tropical fruit in the background
  • Palate: Rich and textured with roasted agave sweetness, charred wood, green botanicals, and a savory umami depth that speaks to the masparillo varietal
  • Finish: Long and warming with lingering smoke, dried citrus peel, and a clean mineral dryness that invites another sip

Burrito Fiestro Ancestral Masparillo is a treasure to sip neat, though its bold character also shines in a Mezcal Negroni or a Smoky Paloma where its wild agave notes can anchor and elevate the cocktail.


Serve neat in a copita or wide-mouthed glass at room temperature to fully appreciate its ancestral craft. Distilled from wild masparillo agave using traditional ancestral methods in the mezcal-producing heartland of Oaxaca, Mexico.

Master Distiller: Juan Conde
Burrito Fiestero is made in Durango by brothers Alejandro and Christian Rossbach with the Conde family, who have long distilled in the region. Maestro mezcalero Juan Conde works at Hacienda Maguey, a restored hacienda in San Nicolás de Acevedo near Nombre de Dios. For the artisanal Cenizo, wild agave is roasted 72 hours in an underground volcanic rock oven, shredded with a solar powered mill and twice distilled in copper pot stills. The ancestral line is milled by hand and distilled in clay pots or wooden Filipino stills built for the project. The brothers learned the craft at the Mezcal IBÁ palenque, founded by their uncle.

Nombre de Dios, Durango

Map of Durango, Mexico, with Nombre de Dios marked

Nombre de Dios sits in southern Durango, about an hour southeast of the state capital, at roughly 1,750 meters. Founded in 1562, it is considered the oldest town in northern Mexico and was named a Pueblo Mágico in 2018. The semi-arid plateau around it is home to wild Cenizo agave (Agave durangensis) and sotol, and Durango holds denominations of origin for both mezcal and sotol. Vinatas around town still roast agave in underground pits and ferment it in wood or stone.
