flavour

tangibly fresh agave sweetness is retained. Aromatic waves of smoke and citrus come and go in this easy-drinking silky smooth sipper. This tends to become many mezcal aficionado’s go-to and it’s built up quite a reputation as a Margarita elevator, but we love it in a Mezcal Old Fashioned!

tasting

Loads of green grass and fresh agave sweetness, with waves of aromatic smoke throughout and a touch of citrus on the finish.

Brand

Dangerous Don

Started in 2015 Dangerous Don is a Mezcal brand based in London and Oaxaca founded by Thea Cumming.

It was a chance meeting over a home-made coffee and mezcal concoction that changed everything. This was the start of a life-long pursuit to create mezcal truly unlike any others.Dangerous Don started after Thea’s travels around bourbon distilleries in The States which then led her to Mexico where she was introduced to cowboy Frank. Frank would pretty crudely mix mezcal “from the mountains” with instant coffee, sugar and vanilla and stick it in a bottle. This delicious mix was unlike anything Thea had tried on her journey - she was hooked, and the rest is history. From there, Thea set out to create her own coffee expression inspired by her experiences with the legend that is Frank. Dangerous Don is lovingly made using artisanal methods hundreds of years old. We’re shining a light on independent producers and their magical processes to make undeniably adventurous mezcal. Embracing the complex and intricate differences from expression to expression we’re bottling new types of distillations never before available to anyone outside local Mexican communities.

Mezcal is one of the oldest distilled spirits in the Americas, dating back some 500 years. The word Mezcal comes from the ancient Aztec language, Nahuatl, and means cooked agave. Historically, mezcal was the first spirit to be distilled in the Americas. During colonial times, the Spanish banned the production of mezcal in order to promote the sale and consumption of their own imported beverages, and so began the underground production of this illustrious Mexican spirits icon.

Since 1994, a protected denomination of origin has been granted for mezcal; an international recognition that certifies that only products made in a specified area of Mexico can be called mezcal, similar to that for Champagne. This status limits the production of agave spirits called mezcal to certain Mexican states (although this is always changing). The influence of terroir on the flavour the agave imparts, producing complex and intricate differences from expression to expression, makes mezcal the most wine like spirit.
