I picked up a bottle of this out of curiosity and was immediately taken by its briny, herbal, coastal take on a spirit driven malt. While other spirit driven single malts go with light fruity and sweet this leans into coastal character with light pleasant sweetness and a hint of smoky/peaty chatacter. My closest comparison is Clynlish with less fruitiness and more brininess. This will be a constant in my collection going forward.

Reviewed July 7, 2023 (edited September 30, 2023)This is an absolutely definitive light fruity and complex single malt that should be in everyone’s collection. This a summer sipper that you will want year round. A few drops of water really beings out the the fruit notes on this one. There is just a hint of peat and coastal character behind apples, pears, citrus aswell as maybe peaches and plums. If I could only have one light fruity single malt in my collection it would probably be this one. -
This has a much more thick oily texture and rich depth of flavor than you would expect from a 45% ABV whiskey, and suprisingly a little water really helps this one bring out the flavors. Definitely at the forefront is mint, clove, cinnamon and that rye bread fennel character. Finish is wuite long and in line with the palate.

Lorenzo Angeles Mendoza If you see anything Real Minero it will be worthwhile. This one has a heafty ABV of 50.29% with a nose that is minerality, a touch of agave and fruit and a healthy dose of alcohol verging on acetone. Add water and this becomes a smokey, earthy agave bomb with a bit of pepper spice and a thick oily mouthfeel that is wonderful.

When i first opened this bottle i was not impressed and found the Mexicano competent but unremarkable…….now that I’m about halfway through the bottle im hustling to get another bottle. Either the spirit changed or my palate did but this is now a spicy wonderful Mexcal. This and the Tepextate are my two favorite Rey Camperos.
