Dos Hombres 100% Espadin Joven Mezcal, 70cl, 42% abv

Product Information

Dos Hombres will remain independently owned and will continue to manage, market and produce its mezcals, Svedka vodka owner Constellation Brands said. Dos Hombres Mezcal is a brilliant blend of hand-selected Espadin agave from Oxaca. The mashed agave is fermented for 7-10 days in mountain water. It is then distilled in copper stills to create this delicate mezcal.

Palate – Mandarin orange. Icing sugar. Great mouth feel – coats really nice. Tasty smoke and salinity in the finish. For 42% ABV this has a bunch of flavor and a nice warmth to it in the belly.Dos Hombres Espadin: It is made with Agave Espadin in San Luis del Rio, Oaxaca, Mexico. Its alcohol content percentage is 42% [8]

This mezcal is a mix of paplote agave with espadin and tobala varieties. The resulting flavour is an explosion of contrast, with body and an acidity that highlights smoke and fruit.A unique blend of the finest Espadin agave, hand-selected from the hillsides of a small village in Oaxaca. Dos Hombres presents an appealing fragrance and a rich taste that engages the palate, ensuring the distinctive smoothness of our brand. So – tequila is actually a type of mezcal (similar to how scotch and bourbon and varieties of whiskey). The jump from a Margarita to a Mezcalita is quite a step flavour-wise, but the progression from a Negroni to a Mezcal Negroni isn’t quite as dramatic because you’re dealing with such a powerful taste to begin with.

Cranston and Paul selected the spirit after travelling to Mexico to find “something so damn good even people who don’t think they like mezcal will love it”. Mezcal should always be served at room temperature to appreciate the nuanced aromatics, and in small sips ( not slammed). A little water in between sips helps to cleanse the palate (and, you know, may heed any headaches the next morning... though don’t take our word for it). How we test mezcal

The most common variety, used to make up to 90% of all mezcal, is the fast-growing espadin, which reaches maturity in just 7 years, in comparison to others that take much longer to be ready for cultivation. Others include tepeztate, tobaziche, tobala and arroqueno, as well as the blue agave used for tequila.The two plants meld to make a distinctive and deeply earthy flavour profile. Believe the hype, this mezcal deserves its popularity within industry circles. This means the flavour profiles of mezcal are much more varied and mostly have a rich smokiness alongside floral, fruity and earthy tones. The actors said they will donate 100% of proceeds from the merchandise to the building of infrastructure in the village of San Luis del Rio.
