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.

729 reviewsLot DS01-TCC. Bottle 149/282. Citric aromas of fresh lime, orange, and white grapefruit. Additional aromas of jalapeno, white onions, asparagus, and garlic oil. The palate has some really interesting meat-adjacent notes, similar to a mustard-based BBQ sauce with Worcester sauce. Additional notes of bell peppers, charcoal, caramelized onions, and some sweetness like a reduced berry sauce that would be poured over a cheesecake. Also tangy papaya. This mezcal is upfront and present throughout the entire experience. It hits like The Sun Also Rises: clear and direct.
