Give It A Shot – Dos Hombres Mezcal
During the over 12 years that we have been About Beverages, we have only tried one mezcal. In June of 2020 we tried the Espada Pequena Mezcal from Trader Joe’s. We drank it straight and also used it in a Paloma. We liked it in both applications but our experience with mezcal is somewhat limited so we didn’t really have much to compare it to. It was something we definitely wanted to try more of, so we have been on the lookout for numero dos. Andrew had heard about a mezcal that was made by two of the stars of one of his favorite shows, Breaking Bad, and of course he was intrigued. Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul partnered with some Mezcal producers in the small village of San Luis del Rio, which is in a remote section of Oaxaca. The spirit they created is Dos Hombres Espadin Mezcal and that is what we will be sharing with you. While they do make one made from 25 year old Tobala agave, this one is made from hand-selected 6 year old Espadin agave. What did we think? What do you think?
