  • Bottler:

    Mezcal Marca Negra

  • ABV:

    48.6%

  • Age:

    NA

  • Price:
    $$$$$
  • Intro:

    Distilled by Alberto Ortiz, Mezcal Marca Negra's Arroqueno is produced in Santa Maria La Pila in fairly small lots - 300 bottles or less.

  • Nose:

    Rich roasted agave, honey and almond slivers, faint citrus zest and some pepper. Lavender, light clay, some salinity.

  • Taste:

    Sweet at first, plenty of agave character here as well. Bright and fruit forward, a hint of cream and cheese on the back palate. Reminds me of salted melon, some cantaloupe, rising bread and some minerality.

  • Finish:

    Long finish presents some clay, some honey and more bread character rife with sweet roasted agave.

  • Overall:

    Extremely pleasant, this bottling of a favorite agave never fails to disappoint and show the impressive skill in the hand of the maker.

  • Score:

    7
