Our story begins in San Juan del Rio, a town in Oaxaca where artisanal, small batch mezcal has been made for generations.

Pluma Negra is cultivated and distilled by the Hernandez family who have produced Mezcal in the region for nearly 45 years. Our Maestro Mezcalero, Rodolfo Hernandez, is a third generation Mezcalero who uses time honored traditions to create Pluma Negra – animal drawn tahona to crush the maguey, pine barrel fermentation, and double distillation in copper pots.

Tasting Notes:Espadn is light and fresh on the nose – lime, pear and apple come forward, with subtle herbal and almond notes at the end. It has a light and zingy feel that flows between tangy citrus and briny olives that lingers long on the palate. Espadn is beautifully approachable and perfect for people who are new to experiencing Mezcal.

Our 40% ABV Espadn is designed as a cocktail spirit, try mixing over ice with tangy sweet pineapple juice, zingy citrus fruits such as tangerine, orange and lime, or crisp and clean cucumber.
