About this bottle

Following a change in name and a rebranding effort, Marca Negra has returned, staying true to its commitment to introduce traditional mezcals to the global market. Produced at a traditional palenque in San Luis Del Rio, this mezcal is made from tobalá, a small, rare, and wild agave species. Despite its diminutive size, this wild agave is rich in sugar and requires a long time to mature. It delivers significant character and a distinctive flavor.

Mckenzie Moreno

TOP product, to drink straight or with a twist on a margarita, with few ingredients. An important smokiness and a full taste

Sonja Landry 5.0

Sweet, with a great finish. Still a bit smoky, but damn, that's good.

Manuel Huston 3.0

Sweet, pungent, and full-bodied with a thick mouthfeel.
