Did you know that Breaking Bad’s main duo have an alcohol brand?
Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul were not only close in the series, but they are close in real life. So close, in fact, that they wanted to create an excuse to see each other more often. That excuse turned out to be their own brand of mescal (or mezcal) alcohol called Dos Hombres.
Unlike their Breaking Bad counterparts, the “senior partner” behind the business is Aaron Paul who had more knowledge and experience with the mescal business. But when they both wanted to do this, they wanted to do it right. Their facility does things the old-school way to ensure the quality is top-notch. One amazing thing is that their facility is so old-school that it doesn’t even need electricity!
The investment has certainly paid off as the industry is expected to be around $450 million by 2028. It was so promising that they have already sold a minority stake to one of the largest spirits distributor in America.
And unlike their on-screen counterparts, it is all legit.
