Mezcal Marca Negra Espadín strikes a remarkable balance between authentic roasted-agave character and refined drinkability. With its approachable 50.8% ABV strength, it brings smoky depth, sweet fruit undertones, and a long finish—making it both a standout sipping mezcal and a versatile mixer for elevated cocktails.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced in Oaxaca, Mexico, by mezcaleros working with 100% Espadín (Agave angustifolia) agave, this mezcal is crafted following traditional methods: the agave is roasted in earthen ovens, crushed, fermented naturally and double-distilled. Marca Negra emphasises small-batch production and respect for artisanal heritage. The bottled strength of 50.8% ABV offers the spirit a broad flavour spectrum without excessive heat.
Critics Reviews
-
A respected mezcal blogger described this Espadín as “smoky sweet/tart on the nose with fruit and orange-citrus brightness; a minerally, lightly roasted finish anchors the profile.”
-
Another reviewer noted that the ABV felt “just right” for this style—“medium mouthfeel, pleasant sweetness, clay-earth and pepper spice weaving through a clean agave core” and commented it would work well in both neat sipping and mezcal-forward cocktails.
These professional impressions validate the Espadín as a craft-forward, yet broadly accessible mezcal offering.
Tasting Profile
Nose: Charred agave, ripe pear and green apple, soft citrus peel, a touch of smoke and warm earth.
Palate: Smooth entry delivering roasted agave heart, light brown sugar sweetness, orange zest, clay-earth minerality and a gentle peppery line.
Finish: Medium-long and clean—with toasted oak nuance, a residual ember-smoke edge, and a lingering kiss of dried fruit and mineral-salt.
