About this mezcal
Mezcal Pluma Negra Espadin 48% is produced by Mezcalero Rodolfo Hernandez in San Juan del Rio, Oaxaca. Donkeys transport the machete cut maguey down to where it’s cooked in an underground earthen oven. An animal powered tahona stone grinds the baked maguey, which is placed in pine barrels for wild yeast fermentation. The result is distilled twice in small batch copper pots. This mezcal has a light feel between tangy citrus and briny olives.
Mezcal Pluma Negra also has a 40% ABV Espadín which is designed as a cocktail spirit.
Pluma Negra Mezcal
Mezcal Pluma Negra is made in the town of San Juan del Rio, which is in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. It is made with wild agaves rich in the flavors of their 100% organic land, and is produced by the hands of a Maestro Mezcalero who uses the process learned by his ancestors. They’re goal is “to be a worthy ambassador of Mezcal, for those who deserve to feel the culture of Oaxaca in all its splendor.”

60 reviewsLot 001-ESP/48 48% Aromas out of the bottle are very subdue and hardly noticeable Light alcohol aroma. Flavors follow in suit there’s not much going on there even though for 48% it drinks super smooth but lacks a lot of complexity no fruit mostly sweet light smoke and alcohol. I will say it’s super clean but I’d like a little more character I’d use this more for a mixer myself. It bet it makes a good margarita. This would be a great quality introduction Mezcal for beginners to try. Easy on the pallet but satisfying and mouth coating.
After the bottle aired out some the predominant flavor/aroma is new tire smell, think Big O. There are better Espadin for less. Overpriced for rubber flavors

Nose – Vanilla. Light caramel candy apple.
Palate – Vanilla bean. Light orange citrus. Oak ember ashiness. Very long finish. Pretty straightforward but damn tasty. Fantastic espadin sipper.
