An authentic and approachable Mezcal with a classic herbal character.

Rey Campero (meaning King of the Countryside) is made by Rómulo Sánchez Parada in Candeleria Yegloe, a tiny village of 150 people in the mountains of southern Oaxaca. Rómulo learned to make Mezcal from his father and grandfather but the family’s roots in Mezcal go back to his great grandmother Clara Manzano Rios who built the family’s palenque in 1870 and began distilling with her husband Nicolas Sanchez. This was the first palenque to be built in Candelaria Yegolé. Flash forward more than a century, Rómulo finally got his Mezcal brand started in 2012. Today, Rey Campero is imported to the U.S. by Mezcal savant William Scanlan who runs the awesomely named Heavy Metl Imports.

Rey Campero Mexicano Mezcal is made from Mexicano agave that’s harvested in a high-altitude forest. The agave is distilled in a copper-pot still by Maestro Mezcalero Rómulo Sánchez Parada himself. Bottled at 96 proof, this authentic Mezcal delivers a classic and subtle herbal character, notes of freshly cut grass, fruit, and smoke.
