Description
A Wild and Rare Agave Mezcal with Deep Complexity
Mezcal Marca Negra Tepeztate is a wild-harvested agave spirit from San Luis del Río, Oaxaca, crafted by Maestro Mezcalero Jorge Méndez. The Tepeztate agave, known for its 20-30 year maturation period, yields a mezcal with an intensely herbal, smoky, and earthy profile. Using traditional stone wheel (tahona) milling and double distillation in copper pot stills, this mezcal captures the true essence of artisanal Oaxacan mezcal-making.

Amber Thomas –
This bottle had a good, honest flavor. Mezcal Marca Negra Tepeztate was not harsh, and the citrus plus pepper notes made it feel a little more special than a basic pick.
