Rey Campero Tepextate + Cuishe + Espadin is an innovative and masterfully crafted mezcal, representing a unique blend of agave varieties. Produced by the renowned maestro mezcalero Romulo Sanchez Parada in Zoquitlan, Oaxaca, this mezcal is a testament to the art of blending different agave species to create a complex and harmonious spirit.

This mezcal combines the distinct characteristics of Tepextate, Cuishe, and Espadin agaves. Tepextate (Agave marmorata) is known for its sweet and spicy green pepper notes, Cuishe (Agave karwinskii) adds a floral touch, and Espadin (Agave angustifolia haw) rounds out the ensemble with its balance and salinity. The result is a mezcal that features an exciting interplay between vegetal and fruity elements, offering a unique tasting experience that keeps the drinker engaged.

The Rey Campero Tepextate + Cuishe + Espadin mezcal has a nose characterized by peppery spice with notes of fresh garden herbs and dried flowers, and hints of chipotle. The palate is marked by chalky minerality, earthy flavors of parsley, clover, and slate, complemented by green chili spice. Each sip unfolds slowly, drawing out the complex layers of flavor.

The production of this mezcal follows traditional methods, with the agaves being cooked in the ground for up to five days, then cooled and rested for up to a week. After cooking, the agaves are crushed by a tahona and undergo open-air fermentation with natural ambient yeasts for up to 12 days. The mezcal is then double distilled in small copper pot stills, a process that contributes to its rich flavor profile and smooth finish.

Rey Campero Tepextate + Cuishe + Espadin is not just a mezcal; it's an expression of the rich mezcal heritage of Oaxaca, showcasing the skillful blending of different agave varieties to create a spirit that is both complex and delightful​.
