Distiller Notes
2020 San Francisco World Spirits Silver Medal Winner
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 the brand.
The aroma of apples and perfectly balanced Espadin agave tumble in first. Hidden freshness and subtle sweetness of fruit scents arise, followed by emerging hints of "zapote" fruits. A perfectly balanced and soft hint of the wooden barrels in which Mezcal is fermented. A discreet, almost imperceptible smoky finish portraits the volcanic stone and firewood of our traditional earth-ovens.
Serve neat in a snifter or extended glass to allow the mezcal to "awake," and fully appreciate the flavors and scents of a completely natural experience. Dos Hombres Espadin Mezcal is an open invitation to uncover and delight with the richness arising from the legendary craftsmanship of the best Mezcal Masters in Oaxaca.
Because of its smooth flavor, Dos Hombres is enjoyable in any season, with every possible combination.

Mezcal Joven or “young” is bottled within two months of distillation without barrel aging and will appear clear, like a Vodka or Gin. Longer barrel aging, with the principal aim to soften and round a spirit’s flavor profile, is often most prized by connoisseurs. However, many die-hard Mezcal enthusiasts insist that oak takes away from the purity of the agave flavors—ranging from earthy and smoky to sweet and floral, often in the same Mezcal—and that Mezcal Joven is the best expression.
