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 Mexicano
Maguey Mexicano (scientific name Agave rhodacantha) thrives in hotter, arid regions and typically presents a dense, medium-to-large rosette with thick leaves and a tightly spaced spine structure. Due to the plant’s concentrated core and slower growth cycle, mezcal produced from Mexicano tends toward an oily mouthfeel and full-bodied profile, often featuring warm caramel or sweet fruit notes, layered with smoky and herbal undertones.
