Rey Campero Mezcal ESPADÍN 48.3% vol. 0.7l

Description

Rey Campero Mezcal ESPADÍN 48.3% vol. 0.7 l is an authentic artisanal mezcal from Oaxaca, representing Mexico’s traditional mezcal culture in its purest form. This distinctive bottling from Rey Campero is produced in the small village of Candelaria Yegolé, a region renowned for its artisanal mezcals. The name Rey Campero translates as ‘King of the Land’ and symbolises a close connection to nature, the agave plant and traditional production methods. The high-quality 0.7 l bottle contains a mezcal made exclusively from the Espadín agave variety, the most important and widespread mezcal agave in Mexico.

The harvested Espadín agaves are processed using traditional methods and then fermented in the open air with natural wild yeasts. This spontaneous fermentation lends the distillate additional complexity and a distinctive character. Following fermentation, the spirit undergoes double distillation in copper stills, resulting in a particularly expressive and authentic mezcal. With a robust 48.3% ABV, Rey Campero Espadín is intense, complex and unadulterated. The combination of traditional production methods, wild yeast fermentation and artisanal distillation makes this bottling an outstanding example of high-quality Oaxaca mezcal.

Rey Campero Mezcal Espadín is excellent when enjoyed neat and should ideally be tasted at room temperature.

The combination of 100% Espadín agave, wild yeast fermentation, double copper distillation and traditional production methods makes Rey Campero Espadín an excellent choice for connoisseurs of premium Mexican agave spirits.
