Description

A juicy Tobal Mezcal from a small Mexican village.

Rey Campero (meaning King of the Countryside) is made by Rmulo Snchez Parada in Candeleria Yegloe, a tiny village of 150 people in the mountains of southern Oaxaca.Rmulo learned to make Mezcal from his father and grandfather but the familys roots in Mezcal go back to his great grandmother Clara Manzano Rios who built the familys palenque in 1870 and began distilling with her husband Nicolas Sanchez. This was the first palenque to be built in Candelaria Yegol. Flash forward more than a century, Rmulo finally got his Mezcal brand started in 2012. Today, Rey Campero is imported to the U.S. by Mezcal savant William Scanlan who runs the awesomely named Heavy Metl Imports.

Rey Campero Tobal Mezcal is a special release, crafted with the highly coveted Tobal agave. This varietal grows in the shade high up in the mountainous regions, but its small size and low sugar content make it difficult to produce large quantities of Mezcal. No problemo for Maestro Mezcalero Rmulo, though, who crafted this juicy Tobal Mezcal with traditional methods. The agave was roasted underground and fermented with natural yeast in wood casks before it was double-distilled in a copper alembic still. Bottled at 96 proof, theres plenty of smoke, salty flavors, grilled pineapple, strawberries, lime zest, and white chocolate on the velvety smooth palate.
