Tasting Notes
Rey Campero Espadín harmoniously blends an array of notes into a captivating, complex flavor profile.
- Aroma: Invigorating and multi-faceted. The nose opens with vibrant, delicate herbal nuances reminiscent of fresh-cut alfalfa and the refreshing essence of fresh tarragon. Intermingling are the earthy, alluring scents of petrichor (rain on dry earth) and deep, damp soil, grounded by a subtle whisper of charcoal and sweet tobacco.
- Palate: Bold and exceptionally layered. The palate first greets with vibrant and crisp green bell pepper notes, adding a delightful vegetal character, alongside a mild, pleasant spiciness reminiscent of jalapeño peppers. This is beautifully balanced by the sweetness of caramel apple, the mineral quality of wet slate, and woody nuances akin to tree bark. Further exploration reveals aromatic hints of oregano, subtle coriander, and the bright zing of citrus zest.
- Mouthfeel: Clean and textural, with a refreshing liveliness that keeps the palate engaged.
- Finish: Long, evolving, and exceptionally balanced. It concludes with lingering notes of the forest floor, a final touch of agave sweetness, and a harmonious echo of the rich array of flavors experienced throughout.

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.
