Marca Negra Ensamble Mezcal

Joven mezcal from Oaxaca made from an ensamble of agaves. Because Marca Negra has released different Ensamble batches using different agave combinations and at different strengths, the exact bottle should be checked for the specific batch. A documented Ensamble expression uses Espadín, Karwinskii, and Mexicano agaves and is bottled at 48% ABV.

Food Pairing: Roasted pork carnitas, grilled steak, complex mole dishes, rich stews, and dark chocolate.

Tasting Notes: Clear and full-bodied with rich viscosity, offering a complex, broad mouthfeel that balances intense herbal freshness, sweet roasted agave, and deep mineral earthiness.

Nose: Vibrant aromas of fresh herbs, pine, citrus peel, cooked agave, subtle floral undertones, and persistent wood smoke.

Palate: Full-flavored and layered, featuring notes of sweet roasted agave, green pepper, citrus zest, wet stone minerals, white pepper, and well-integrated campfire smoke.

Finish: Long, warm, and structured with lingering notes of sweet agave, subtle dry herbs, mineral earthiness, and smooth smoke.

Serve: Served neat at room temperature in a traditional copita or wide-rimmed glass.
