Marca Negra - Dobadán Mezcal
Marca Negra Dobadán Mezcal is a unique and sought-after expression crafted exclusively from the wild Agave karwinskii varietal, known locally as "Dobadán." This agave grows tall and slender, and its distinct characteristics are beautifully captured through traditional production methods in Oaxaca. Expect a mezcal that is intensely earthy and herbaceous, with a remarkable mineral complexity that truly reflects its wild origin and the ancient techniques used to bring it to life.
