Mezcal Rey Campero Tepextate

Rey Campero Tepextate is made from wild Agave marmorata that has matured 15-18 years before harvest. After roasting and crushing, it is fermented with wild yeast in the open air before double distillation and bottling. Rey Campero means “King of the Countryside”, but with great power comes great responsibility. Rey Campero (Destiladora de Mezcal Sánchez) has a strong commitment to local sustainability. For each maguey harvested for their mezcal, many others are planted. They do this with all of their agave, but it is particularly important for the Tepextate populations given the time needed for each Tepextate plant to reach maturity. A forceful mezcal on the nose and palate, which pepper calls out to you?
