“Para todo mal, mezcal. Y para todo bien, también.”

No, this isn’t a promo for a new season of Breaking Bad. But costars Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston are back with a tasty new collaboration that might have mezcal lovers wondering if the on-screen chemistry bros have been experimenting south of the border with agave and spring water. The duo teamed up with third-generation mezcalero Gregorio Velasco to create the symphony of Dos Hombres, a new award-winning artisanal mezcal. Made from high-quality Espadin agave from the hillsides of a small village in Oaxaca, Mexico, Dos Hombres has a smooth flavor with notes of apple, mango, firewood, and more.

I just haven’t toasted to you yet.

Recently, Grammy-winning, multiplatinum superstar Michael Bublé announced the launch of Fraser & Thompson, his new whiskey brand, in partnership with longtime friend and award-winning master distiller and blender Paul Cirka. A project three years in the making, F&T is a North American whiskey—a blend of Canadian whiskey and Bourbon and a first for the whiskey category, brought to market by fast-growing spirits incubator WES Brands. Cirka hand-selected aged liquid to blend into an inviting whiskey with sweet fig and blood orange on the nose and a subtle finish of caramel, vanilla, and a hint of spice.

Proper No. Twelve Whiskey

“When I do something, I do it full steam ahead.”

—Conor McGregor

That’s precisely how UFC champion Conor McGregor and his team approached creating Proper No. Twelve Irish Whiskey. It began with a search for a place and people who shared the same passion for Ireland and its whiskey as the professional boxer and businessman. McGregor found this at the oldest whiskey distillery in Ireland, where he worked with his master distiller to create a unique and special blend. Proper No. Twelve offers a single-malt Irish whiskey with hints of vanilla, honey, and toasted wood, plus an all-new Irish Apple whiskey with a crisp, tart bite. The spirit’s name pays homage to McGregor’s hometown of Crumlin, Dublin 12.
