Rey Campero Mezcal
Rey Campero represents the culture, tradition and art of Candelaria Yegolé, a small town in the Southern Highlands of Oaxaca, with a fertile ground on its slopes and canyons. It represents a people dedicated to the production of artisanal Mezcal, so one of its principles is to help producers of maguey, by creating job opportunities, but especially in finding markets for the best Mezcal. Rey Campero, means “King of the Countryside” and it was founded by the maestro mezcalero Romulo Sanchez Parada. Romulo learned how to make mezcal from his father, and he worked in the palenque until age 20. He lived and worked for several years in North Carolina while in his 20s before returning to Oaxaca in 2003. Each lot may vary slightly, so check your bottle for specific details about ABV.

717 reviewsSweet corn aromas. Also subtle notes of cantaloupe. Pairs well with Our Own Candle Company Cedarwood-Vanilla. Palate of candied yams. Sweet potatoes. Subtle but with finesse. This is like a great jazz Ensamble at low volume: quiet but enjoyable.

36 reviewsOctober 2016. Bottle 21/180. Very nice nose with overripe cantaloupe and fresh leather. Grassy notes on the palate with a crisp, sharp finish. Worth the effort to find this small batch release
