Burrito Fiestero Cenizo
The Burrito Fiestero entry – cenizo at 42%, a sensible Durango introduction at accessible proof
Score: 3.5/5 agaves
- Producer: Burrito Fiestero Mezcal
- Maestro: Arturo Conde, Juan Manuel Conde
- Region: San Nicolas, Durango
- Agave: Cenizo
- ABV: 42%
- Price: $47 ($$)
Verdict
The producer keeps consistent with the specialty releases – proof is the only real difference, and 42% still shows cleanly. If the 50% Burrito Fiestero bottles aren't on the shelf, this is the reasonable way into the brand. Buy it as the Durango starter; climb to the verde or 50% cenizo once the register is familiar.
A sensible Durango introduction for drinkers new to the state
Tasting notes
Nose: Pine – then warm stone, dry hay, a faint floral high note and trace of mineral damp
Palate: Lean and northern at 42% – the entry cenizo at accessible proof. Drinks as a reasonable Durango introduction without reaching the specialty tier of the higher-proof bottlings elsewhere in the range
Finish: Cooling, dry, with a slow pine fade
The bottom line
A solid Durango starter
