Nose
Cotton candy, banana custard, sherbert, and confected sugary notes are pungent up front.
Taste
In the mouth the fruit leans tropical with kiwi and pineapple, before an explosion of earthy clay and passion fruit pastry cream expand over the palate. The complexities keep unfolding in the mouth with a texture that straddles smooth and spice laden. An absolute pleasure to sip and engage with.
Method/Background
Rey Campero is artisanally produced featuring in ground cooking for up to five days, followed by cooling and resting up to one week. Cooked agaves are crushed by a tahona and open air fermented with natural ambient yeasts for up to 12 days before double distillation in small copper pot stills. This delicious limited release was distilled in October 2016
