Rey Campero Espadin is a good option for both sipping neat or for using in cocktails that need a robust and strong profile. Rey Campero Espadin uses agave Espadin that is fermented in open air with wild yeasts. In true Rey Campero fashion, only the highest quality agave are used in production. Many batches of Rey Campero Espadin are also aged in glass before bottling, which gives them a much softer feel. Make sure to check the release and bottling information on each bottle as different batches have different flavor notes.  Regardless of which release you’re tasting, many consider this to be one of the better Espadin Mezcals on the market.

Rey Campero represents the culture, tradition, and art of Candelaria Yegolé, a small town in the Southern Highlands of Oaxaca, with 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.
