DANGEROUS DON Espadin, 45% ABV

Dangerous Don is a proudly female founded, female-run business with founder/CEO Thea Cumming taking the helm; celebrating female participation and excellence in a mostly male-dominated industry.

Produced in Oaxaca, Mexico the heartland of mezcal, both in Santiago Matatlan and Santa Maria Quegolani, Dangerous Don advocates for traditional methods, working with communities to uphold their artisanal production processes, supporting our responsible ethos.

The brand is named after Cumming’s father, who had a cigar-smuggling business, illegally importing from Cuba to the Bahamas and re-exporting to Florida. When the plot was leaked, Cumming's father was later infamously known as Dangerous Don, the cigar smuggler of Camden. What a cool story!

Key Information

Serving Suggestions

First things first, be comfortable, relaxed and free from distractions. Pour a healthy amount (15-25ml) into a nosing glass (e.g., glencairn) and let it sit for a while. We recommend a minute of resting in the glass for every year in the cask. Otherwise, let it settle down for 5-10 minutes at least.

Help yourself to a 'warm up dram' in the meantime - something simple to open up the palate. When ready, start nosing the spirit, followed by sipping it (noting how it arrives on your palate and its development), and finally the finish. Take your time to get to know the spirit, noting its expression, character, depth, complexity and flavours. These can all change with adding drops of water so play around to find different sides of the spirit and identity a personal sweet spot for yourself!

In cocktails, it's fantastic substituting gin in negronis!

But always remember, the best way to drink it is the way you like it!
