About Rey Campero
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.
About Mezcal Madrecuishe
Madrecuishe (also spelled Madre-Cuishe) is a wild variety of the Agave karwinskii species. It thrives in arid, rocky terrain in Oaxaca and grows in a tall, narrow, often cylindrical form. Because its core is dense and low in water content, mezcal produced from Madrecuishe typically exhibits a pronounced minerality, with vegetal, herbaceous, and sometimes floral or nut-like notes.
