Rey Campero Espadín Mezcal

Tons of floral notes, little bit of smoke, although not very much. Very well rounded

A delicate, Mezcal by Rómulo Sánchez Parada for Destilería Herencia de Sánchez in Oaxaca, Mexico. It has an aromatic birth with notes of fruit, agave, Tepache, straw & olive brine; while a delicate life adds notes of smoke, corn, orange peel, marshmallow & hoja santa; that led to a short & rich death with hints of botanicals, fresh herbs, spice, oregano, tobacco & clay.

Nice and balanced. Bright and fruity, moreso than smoky. Tart and bitter grapefruit peel, lime juice, saccharine minerality, salt. Quite nice.

Comparable to del maguey mid level espadin expression

From the nose I’m getting charcoal, pineapple, agave, ash, bell pepper, earth, vanilla cake, smoke and grapefruit. Smooth and lightly peppery on the palate, with grapefruit, orange, lime, charcoal, pineapple, smoke and agave. Solid stuff.

Tried neat from my flaviar tasting box. On the nares I get peppers and smoke. On the palate it’s smooth and light with notes of fruit and lime and finish ok smoke and chili. Delicious
