Burrito Fiestro Mezcal Ancestral Verde is a rare expression rooted in the oldest traditions of mezcal production, where time-honored technique and wild agave converge in something truly singular. Crafted in the ancestral style, this verde release speaks to the living heart of Mexican spirits culture.


Ancestral mezcal represents the most traditional tier of production recognized by the Consejo Regulador del Mezcal, requiring clay pot distillation and stone or wood milling methods that have remained largely unchanged for generations. The verde designation points to the use of fresh or green agave material, lending this expression a vibrancy and herbaceous depth that sets it apart from more conventional mezcals. Every step of the process honors the agave and the land from which it came.


  • Nose: Fresh green agave, wild herbs, and a whisper of smoke with earthy mineral undertones
  • Palate: Bright vegetal character, roasted agave sweetness, subtle citrus zest, and a touch of clay-tinged complexity
  • Finish: Long and gently smoky with lingering herbal notes and a clean, mineral fade

Burrito Fiestro Ancestral Verde shines in a Mezcal Negroni, where its green agave vibrancy plays beautifully against bitter aperitivo, or try it in a simple Mezcal Paloma to let its fresh character lead.


Best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube to open up its layers. Burrito Fiestro Mezcal Ancestral Verde is an ancestral-method spirit celebrating the verde agave tradition at its most expressive.

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.

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.
