Mezcal Rey Campero translates to “King of the Countryside” – a reference to the wild plants cultivated to make the distillates. This mezcal is 100% espadín matured 6 – 7 years before harvest, fermented in open air with wild yeasts and double-distilled in copper stills.
Rey Campero Mezcal Tasting Notes
Nose: Aromas of lily of the valley, grapefruit rind and green pepper greeting the nose.
Palate: Light and fruity, with pineapple, ripe grapefruit, lime and vanilla.
Finish: Floral flavors and hot chili spice play off each other to add a subtle accent to the finish with just a hint of charcoal smoke.
