Rey Campero Tepeztate Mezcal artesanal - Joven

Special features: This mezcal is made from the rare agave variety Tepextate (Agave marmorata), known for its intense and distinctive aromas. The agave plants take between 15 and 18 years to reach full maturity, making this mezcal particularly exclusive. The traditional production method includes roasting the agaves in earthen ovens, grinding with a stone tahona, and fermenting in open wooden containers with natural yeast. The double distillation takes place in copper pot stills, resulting in a complex and expressive flavor.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: Aromas of white flowers and yellow pepper that form the basis for an expressive mid-palate experience.
• Palate: Notes of coriander, freshly cut grass, and banana leaf that give the mezcal depth and complexity.
• Finish: A classic Tepextate finish with hints of jalapeño and Sichuan peppercorns that lingers long.

Distillery/Bottler: Rey Campero is a traditional distillery from Candelaria Yegolé, Oaxaca, Mexico. Under the guidance of the experienced mezcalero Rómulo Sánchez Parada, mezcal is produced here with passion and dedication. The distillery places great importance on sustainability and the preservation of traditional production methods to ensure the quality and authenticity of their mezcal.
