Rey Campero Tepextate + Pulquero K&L Exclusive Single Batch Lot#D5001-TP Mezcal (750ml)

This single batch of Rey Campero mezcal yeilded roughly 264 bottles, half of which remained in Mexico. The other half is exclusive to K&L. Distilled in October 2017, this batch rested for 30 months in glass before being bottled. This extended resting process gives this particular batch an increased sense of smoothness and elegance while carrying all of the robust flavors of Tepextate (A. Marmorata) and Pulquero (A. Atrovirens) agaves. This unique 50/50 field blend was a one time production created by Romulo Sanchez almost 3 years ago. This is one of the first batches to come out of Oaxaca that Pulquero has been assigned the name Agave atrovirens. Previously, the CRM had classified the Pulquero as Salmiana. In fact, the first labels approved by the CRM and TTB for this batch had A. salmiania on them and then CRM reclassified it. The tepextate in this region take approximately 18 years to mature and the Pulquero are taking on average 15 years to mature. Like all the other Rey Campero field blends these agave are cooked together, milled together and co-fermented and then distilled in copper pot stills.
