Rey Campero Ensamble (CA Batch)
The Rey Campero Ensamble is a sophisticated expression that highlights the artistry of wild agave blending. This specific "CA" batch is a meticulous marriage of Coyote and Mexicano Penca Larga agaves, handcrafted in the traditional style. By combining these two distinct wild varietals, the producer creates a spirit that bridges the gap between earthy, rugged complexity and bright, floral elegance. This Joven mezcal is bottled at its natural proof, capturing the raw, unadulterated essence of the Oaxacan terroir from which these agaves were harvested.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: An inviting opening of damp earth, wet stone, and pine needles. This is quickly followed by brighter, lifted aromatics of white flowers, roasted agave, and a whisper of citrus zest.
- Palate: The texture is lush and oily, coating the mouth immediately. The Coyote influence provides a backbone of savory, herbal notes, think green herbs and toasted nuts, while the Mexicano Penca Larga adds a layer of sweet, candied fruit and delicate minerality.
- Finish: Long and resonant. It leaves a clean, drying impression of smoke, spice, and a persistent, creamy sweetness that lingers long after the final sip.
Production Insights
- Agave Varietals: Coyote (Agave Americana) and Mexicano Penca Larga (Agave Rhodacantha).
- Category: Artesanal Mezcal.
- Production Style: Cooked in earthen pits, crushed using a tahona, and fermented in open-air wooden vats before undergoing double distillation in copper pot stills.
- Best Enjoyed: This spirit is meant for slow, contemplative sipping. Serve it neat in a copita to allow the complex interplay between the two agaves to unfold and evolve in the glass.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
