The Story

About Pluma Negra Tepeztate Mezcal

The tepeztate agave grows particularly high in the rocky, limestone-rich mountainous regions of Oaxaca. The ones that are used in Pluma Negra Tepeztate Mezcal come from an elevation of 5,000-8,200ft and take a whopping 25 to 35 years to mature fully. Harvested by hand with machetes and carried by donkeys, the hearts are then cooked underground in earth ovens. After the cooked agaves are ground using a donkey-pulled mill, the pulp is left to ferment for 8 to 15 days (depending on the temperature) in pine barrels using wild fermentation, before being double-distilled in 250-300l copper-pot stills. This mezcal is bottled at 104 proof and is meant to be enjoyed on its own, sipped neat. Herbal, green, and minty, it's an intense and complex spirit.

About Mezcal

Mezcal is a distilled spirit made from roasted agave plants between two days and two weeks, which gives it a distinct smokey flavor.
What scotch is for whisk(e)y, mezcal is for tequila.

It can be made from different types of agave in different parts of Mexico, but most of it (60%) comes from the state of Oaxaca. Mezcal offers a large diversity of flavor profiles and ranges between 40 and 55% ABV.

Tasting Notes

Soft, minty, and green, this expression opens with fresh herb, cut grass, and eucalyptus notes on the nose. It's warm and herbal on the palate that culminates in a long and complex finish.
