Dos Hombres Espadín is a joven mezcal from San Luis del Río, Oaxaca, created by Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad and bottled at 84 proof (42% ABV).
It is a blend of the finest Espadín agave, hand-selected from the hillsides of a small village in Oaxaca, an open invitation to uncover the richness of the legendary craftsmanship of Oaxaca's mezcal masters. It delivers a beautifully balanced union of subtle smokiness and vibrant fruit, inviting to newcomers and rewarding to seasoned mezcal drinkers alike.
The aroma brings apple and perfectly blended Espadín, with mango and local zapote fruit. The palate shows hidden freshness and subtle sweetness of fruit, with a soft hint of the wooden vats in which the mezcal is fermented and almost imperceptible smoke.
With its clean, cheerful label, it makes a fun gift for fans and mezcal newcomers.
Serve it neat in a snifter to let it awaken, or try it in a mezcal Margarita or the brand's Dos Fashioned.
Mezcal is made by roasting agave hearts, traditionally in earthen pits, then crushing, fermenting and distilling them, a process that gives the spirit its characteristic smoky depth. Each agave variety and each village brings its own character, which is why enthusiasts love exploring small-batch bottlings.
Mezcal and other agave spirits are traditionally sipped from a copita or a small clay cup, in small sips, often alongside orange slices dusted with sal de gusano. Many are made in tiny batches by individual families, so each bottle is a snapshot of a particular place, agave and season.
