Marca Negra - Tobalá Mezcal
Marca Negra Tobalá Mezcal is a highly prized and sought-after expression, crafted exclusively from the wild Agave potatorum, known locally as "Tobalá." This smaller, slower-growing agave is found in high-altitude, rocky terrains of Oaxaca and yields a mezcal of exceptional aromatic intensity and refined complexity. Through traditional roasting in earthen pits, fermentation, and distillation, the unique floral, fruity, and subtly smoky characteristics of Tobalá are meticulously preserved, offering a truly elegant and captivating spirit.
