It is there, in the cradle of the famous Mexican spirit, that Maestro Mezcalero Rodolfo HernÃ¡ndez crafts the delicious drink. Himself belonging to the 3rd generation of mezcaleros, the HernÃ¡ndez 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 EspadÃ­n, the TobalÃ¡, and the Tepeztate.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThe wild tobalÃ¡ agaves used in Pluma Negra TobalÃ¡ Mezcal grow at an elevation of 3,800 to 5,000ft, taking between 8 to 12 years to mature. 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 (depending on the temperature) in pine barrels using wild fermentation, before being double-distilled in 250-300l copper-pot stills. Bottled at 96 proof, it's a complex artisanal small-batch spirit with chocolate, plum, spice, and floral notes that is best sipped neat.\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.
