Pierde Almas Mezcal
Rey Campero Tepextate + Cuishe + Espadin
Rey Campero Tepextate + Cuishe + Espadin is a mezcal ensamble from Oaxaca. Producer Romulo Sanchez Parada blends Angustifolia, Karwinskii and Marmorata agaves in Candelaria Yegole. This spirit carries NOM-O185X and distills in copper pots for distinct character. Notes of green pepper, grape candy and floral elements define the nose. The palate balances sweet bubblegum tones with savory salinity from Espadin. Aromatic layers include orange blossom, black tea and earthy goodness. Medium smokiness leads to a warm finish evolving into berries. Produced in October 2018, this batch rests for thirty-five months.

About the Brand
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.
