The Story

About Rey Campero Cuishe Mezcal

Rey Campero means "King of the Countryside." Its story is tied to Mezcalero Rómulo Sánchez Parada, who learned all about producing mezcal from his father in Mexico. He emigrated to North Carolina but returned to Candelaria Yegolé, Mexico in 2003 and started making Mezcal again with his family. It's a family with a rich history in making mezcal that spans more than 7 decades and 4 generations of Mezcaleros. Today it is produced 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.

Rey Campero Cuishe Mezcal is produced in the family palenque (distillery) that has been operational for more than 7 decades. It's made from wild Cuishe agaves which take 9 to 12 years to mature before being harvested. They are then roasted for 4 to 5 days, before being ground in a mule-pulled tahoma mill. It is then open-air fermented, letting the wild yeast transform sugars into alcohol, then double-distilled using a copper-pot still. The resulting unaged spirit is bottled at around 96 proof and unaged for a fruity and crisp profile with a distinct earthy and mineral twist to it.

About Mezcal

Mezcal is a distilled spirit made from roasted agave plants between two days and two weeks, which gives it a distinct smokey flavor.
What scotch is for whisk(e)y, mezcal is for tequila.

It can be made from different types of agave in different parts of Mexico, but most of it (60%) comes from the state of Oaxaca. Mezcal offers a large diversity of flavor profiles and ranges between 40 and 55% ABV.

Tasting Notes

The clear liquid has an exceptionally clean and crisp profile with fruity, mineral, and earthy notes. The tropical notes give way to herbal, spicy, and slightly smoky ones, before the finish brings a pleasant heat.
