“I saw a clear opening with mezcal,” Aaron Paul, co-founder of Dos Hombres Mezcal with fellow actor Bryan Cranston, says. “You ask anyone on the side of the road, ‘Name your favorite mezcal,’ [and] they’re like, ‘Oh, mezcal is…’ But they can name a vodka, a tequila.”
Cranston and Paul, who played Walter White and Jesse Pinkman on AMC’s award-winning crime drama series Breaking Bad, became fast friends on set. So, when Paul suggested the duo start a mezcal brand of their own several years after the show wrapped, Cranston was all in.
