Marca Negra - Ensamble Mezcal
Marca Negra Ensamble Mezcal is a captivating expression that celebrates the rich biodiversity and traditional craftsmanship of Oaxaca. This mezcal is a carefully crafted blend of different agave varietals, which are cooked, fermented, and distilled together, rather than individually. The result is a complex and harmonious spirit that showcases a multifaceted spectrum of flavors, from earthy and smoky to bright and herbal, unique to the specific combination of agaves used.
