What makes two successful American
actors take a road trip to one of the most
remote villages in Mexico? Mezcal. Not
being drunk on it (at least not at the time)
but having a genuine love for the complex
character of this relatively obscure spirit.
Aaron introduced it to Bryan and soon
the longtime friends and co-stars felt
compelled to introduce mezcal – tequila's
older, tougher, eccentric, but much less
famous brother – to a larger audience.
Putting brilliant unknowns on bigger
stages is, after all, an instinct and a
pleasure among the gracious people in
their industry. And they really wanted to
put a spotlight on this odd little gem.
