Rey Campero Mexicano

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.

Mexicano Mezcal is crafted from Mexicano agave that’s harvested in a high-altitude forest. Distilled in a copper-pot still by Maestro Mezcalero Rómulo Sánchez Parada. This premium Mezcal releases a classic and subtle herbal character, notes of freshly cut grass, fruit, and smoke. Tastes of smoked wood, dry grass, and cafe espresso. Bottled at 97 proof, the finish is smooth but flavorful.
