Dos Hombres Espadin Mezcal 750ml

Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul went to Oaxaca looking for a mezcal worth building a company on, and Dos Hombres Espadín Mezcal is the bottle that came back. It is made the old way in the village of San Luis del Río: espadín agave harvested at six to eight years, roasted in a stone pit, crushed under a horse-drawn tahona, fermented in wooden vats, and run through a copper pot still by maestro mezcalero Gregorio Velasco. Bottled at 42% ABV, it opens on apple and roasted agave, turns to mango and local sapote fruit, and closes with discreet smoke rather than an ashtray. A friendly first mezcal for tequila and whiskey drinkers — sip it neat alongside orange slices.

How to drink Dos Hombres Espadín Mezcal

If you want the classic Oaxacan serve, pair it with orange slices dusted in sal de gusano instead of plain salt — the earthy worm salt matches the smoke better than table salt ever will. It also swaps cleanly into an Oaxaca Old Fashioned for drinkers who want mezcal's smoke without committing a whole glass to sipping it neat.
