Machetazo

Rey Campero represents the culture, tradition and art of Candelaria Yegolé, a small town in the Southern Highlands of Oaxaca in Mexico with a fertile ground on its slopes and canyons. It represents a people dedicated to the production of artisanal 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.

Mezcal Machetazo Wild Agave Cupreata is original and complex Machetazo variety found only on the mountain slopes of the Rio Balsas basin in the southern Mexican states of Guerrero. The high mountain slopes where this agave grows wild, is ideal for absorbing minerals giving way to a sweeter flavor unique to the Cupreata agave, known locally as Maguey Papalote.
