Let’s cook Mezcal, Mr. White!
If you’re a Breaking Bad buff, you’ll remember the Season 4 episode aptly named "Salud," where half of the cartel drops dead after drinking a ridiculously expensive Zafiro Añejo Tequila. While this emerald Spirit was invented because no sane distillery would agree on a product placement that ends up killing people, the guys who played the most famous meth cooks in TV history came up with a very real, very delicious, and very not-poisonous Mezcal. Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul posted a picture of two donkeys on their Instagram accounts, simply saying "Soon!" and while we thought we’re getting a buddy cop comedy with two sheriffs riding asses, we got something even better: artisanal Spirit from Oaxaca called Dos Hombres Espadin Mezcal. Now, the two hombres are Mr. White and Mr. Pinkman, while Espadin is the type of agave used for the Spirit). This Joven Mezcal is their first release, and we hope they decide to expand their portfolio.
Dos Hombres Mezcal is distilled in a village of San Luis del Rio deep in Oaxaca. They cook the Espadin agave in underground pit ovens, mill it by horse-drawn mills, ferment it for up to ten days with crystal clear mountain spring water, and then distill it twice in copper stills. Bryan and Aaron said they wanted to create a premium and unique sipping Mezcal that would invite the aficionados to explore and appreciate the ancient art of making Mezcal. The clear Spirit offers fruity notes of apples, mango and sapote, with an addition of wood and smoke. Drink it neat or put it in a Ameri-Mex El Camino cocktail with Rye, Bénédictine and bitters.

While Mezcal is produced all across Mexico, most of the Mezcal we see is produced in the state of Oaxaca. Interestingly, over 70% of Mezcal is made from the Espadín agave—even though more than 20 types of agave are used to make Mezcal.
Espadín. That word means “sword” in Spanish because the leaves look like a mass of swords projecting out of the plant. Espadín Mezcals are most common because it has been the easiest agave to cultivate.
All Tequila is Mezcal, but not all Mezcal is Tequila.
