Ultramundo Lamparillo Mezcal

We’re inspired by the flora and fauna of Mexico’s La Zona del Silencio (The Silent Zone). Our regenerative agave supply comes from our land within this area, which is part of the Mapimí Biosphere. We do our part to protect the biodiversity of this unique region by allowing 20% of our mature agaves to go to seed each year, and also by contributing a portion of our profits to preserving the Bolsón Tortoise (Gopherus flavomarginatus), the critically endangered desert turtle that inhabits this land alongside us.
