It is there, in the cradle of the famous Mexican spirit, that Maestro Mezcalero Rodolfo Hernández crafts the delicious drink. Himself belonging to the 3rd generation of mezcaleros, the Hernández family has been in the business for 45 years, employing traditional methods. The tahona mill is pulled by a donkey, the juice ferments in pine barrels, and copper pots are used in distillation. The Pluma Negra or \"black feather\" lineup consists of 4 expressions: the white and black label Mezcal Espadín, the Tobalá, and the Tepeztate.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nEspadín is a common type of agave that grows in Oaxaca. The Pluma Negra Espadín Mezcal (Black Label) is crafted with 100% Espadín agaves that take between 7 and 10 years to fully mature at an elevation of around 3,800ft. Harvested by hand with machetes, 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 in pine barrels using wild fermentation, before being double-distilled in a copper-pot still. Bottled at 96 proof, it boasts a fresh, citrusy, and fruity profile that is designed for sipping and goes particularly well with smoked fish.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nGet your bottle today!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Mezcal\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMezcal is a distilled spirit made from roasted agave plants between two days and two weeks, which gives it a distinct smokey flavor. \u003cbr\u003eWhat \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/whiskey\/scotch\/\"\u003escotch\u003c\/a\u003e is for whisk(e)y, mezcal is for \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/spirits\/tequila\/\"\u003etequila\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can be made from different types of agave in different parts of Mexico, but most of it (60%) comes from the state of Oaxaca.
