Who Are the Dos Hombres Behind the Tequila?
Before we dive into the tequila itself, let's meet the dos hombres (two men) behind the brand. Dane DeHaan and Zac Efron, yes, the actors you know and love, are the faces behind Dos Hombres. But they're not just pretty faces; they're passionate about tequila and have been involved in every step of the process.
The Birth of Dos Hombres Tequila
The journey of Dos Hombres began when Dane and Zac, long-time friends and tequila lovers, decided to create a spirit that reflected their passion. They partnered with Maestro Tequilero (Tequila Master) Carlos Camarena, a third-generation tequila maker, to bring their vision to life.
The Dos Hombres Process
Dos Hombres is produced using traditional methods in Jalisco, Mexico, the heartland of tequila production. Here's a sneak peek into their process:
- Agave Selection: They use only Blue Weber Agave, handpicked for its sweet and complex flavors. - Cooking: The agave piñas are slow-cooked in brick ovens for 24-36 hours. - Fermentation: The cooked agave is crushed and fermented using a proprietary yeast strain. - Distillation: Dos Hombres is distilled twice in small-batch copper pot stills.
