Description
Rey Campero Mexicano Mezcal is crafted from Mexicano agave thats harvested in a high-altitude forest. Distilled in a copper-pot still by Maestro Mezcalero Rmulo Snchez Parada, this premium Mezcal releases a classic and subtle herbal character, notes of freshly cut grass, fruit, and smoke. Bottled at 96 proof, the finish is smooth but flavorful.Rey Campero means “King of the Countryside.” Its story is tied to Mezcalero Rmulo Snchez Parada, who learned all about producing mezcal from his father and grandfather, but the family tradition actually started with his great grandmother Clara Manzano Rios. She was the one who built the familys palenque the first in Candelaria Yegol in 1870 and started distilling with her husband Nicolas Sanchez. Initially, Rmulo Snchez Parada emigrated to North Carolina but returned to Candelaria Yegol, Mexico, in 2003 and started making Mezcal again with his family. This is a family with a rich history in making mezcal that spans more than 7 decades and 4 generations of Mezcaleros. Today, Rey Camepro is produced in Candelaria Yegol, a tiny village of 150 people in the Oaxacan Highlands just as it once was, according to tradition and with sustainability in mind. They focus on producing the finest quality mezcal, finding new markets for the spirit, as well as creating job opportunities.Pick up a bottle of authentic mezcal today!
