Ultramundo Mezcal Lamparillo is a rare and compelling expression built around lamparillo, an agave variety seldom seen outside the remote regions where it grows wild and unhurried. For mezcal seekers drawn to the road less traveled, this bottling offers a genuine encounter with the unexpected.


Crafted in the tradition of small-batch artisanal mezcal production, Ultramundo sources and distills with an emphasis on expressing the singular character of each agave variety it works with. Lamparillo is among the most elusive of these, lending the spirit a profile that reflects both the terroir of its origin and the patient craft behind its making.


  • Nose: Earthy and herbaceous with hints of wild green agave, smoke, and a subtle mineral depth that speaks to its highland roots
  • Palate: Layers of roasted agave sweetness give way to savory, smoky complexity with notes of dried botanicals, stone fruit, and a touch of spice
  • Finish: Long and lingering with a clean smokiness and a dry, earthy fade that rewards slow sipping

Ultramundo Lamparillo holds its own in a Mezcal Negroni or a Oaxacan Old Fashioned, where its distinctive character can anchor bold, spirit-forward builds without being overwhelmed.


Best enjoyed neat or with a small splash of water to open up its layers. Ultramundo Mezcal Lamparillo is an artisanal mezcal made from the rare lamparillo agave, a remarkable addition to any serious agave spirits collection.

Location: Nombre de Dios, Durango
Ultramundo comes from Rancho Pelayo, a 24,000-acre family ranch in the Zona del Silencio near Mapimí, Durango, in the Chihuahuan Desert. Founder Sergio Garnier learned that the pale green agave spreading across the land was Lamparillo, Agave asperrima, a rare plant that holds the desert soil in place. The wild Lamparillo is roasted in earth ovens lined with volcanic stone, fired with mesquite and oak, and fermented in underground wooden tanks called tumbas. The first batches were distilled with maestros in the vinatas of Nombre de Dios. An endangered desert tortoise, which the brand helps protect, sits on the label.

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.
