Rey Campero Cuishe Mezcal 750ml

Description

Introducing Rey Campero Cuishe Mezcal, a distinguished 750ml expression crafted from the wild Cuishe agave, revered for its exceptional quality. This mezcal is a testament to the patience and dedication required to produce a truly remarkable spirit, as the Cuishe agave takes a remarkable 9-12 years to reach full maturity.

The production process of Rey Campero Cuishe Mezcal is steeped in tradition and expertise. The wild Cuishe agave hearts are roasted for an extended period of 4-5 days, resulting in a distinctive smoky character. Following the roasting, the agave is open-air fermented using naturally occurring wild yeast, allowing the flavors to develop naturally and reflect the terroir of the Oaxacan Highlands. The mezcal is then double-distilled in traditional copper-pot stills, ensuring the preservation of the agave’s essence and delivering a refined and authentic spirit.

Mezcalero Rmulo Snchez Parada, a master of his craft, oversees the production of Rey Campero Cuishe Mezcal. Having learned the art of mezcal production from his father and honing his skills in the palenque until the age of 20, Parada carries forward the legacy of generations. After a few years spent living and working in North Carolina, he returned to Oaxaca in 2003, bringing his invaluable experience and passion back to the heartland of mezcal production.
