Dos Hombres is moving deeper into tequila.
After launching its first Blanco Tequila in May 2026 and following it with a Reposado in July, the agave spirits brand founded by Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul has already confirmed the next step: Dos Hombres Añejo Tequila, due to arrive in 2027.
Trade reports surrounding the launch of the new tequila range point more specifically towards an early 2027 release, making the Añejo the third tequila expression in what is rapidly becoming a much broader Dos Hombres portfolio.
For a company that began with a single artisanal mezcal in 2019, it marks a significant evolution.
Dos Hombres has not yet revealed the complete specification for the forthcoming Añejo. There is currently no confirmed maturation period, cask type, ABV, price or UK launch date. What the brand has confirmed is that the Añejo is coming in 2027 and is intended to deliver rich aged character with deep oak and caramel.
Here is everything we know so far about Dos Hombres Añejo Tequila.

What Is Dos Hombres Añejo Tequila?
Dos Hombres Añejo Tequila is the forthcoming aged expression in Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul's expanding Dos Hombres tequila range.
The company was originally created around mezcal, but in April 2026 Dos Hombres announced that it was expanding into tequila for the first time.
The first release, Dos Hombres Blanco, launched in the United States on 1 May 2026, followed by Dos Hombres Reposado in July. An Añejo was simultaneously confirmed as the next addition, with an early 2027 launch planned.
It means that in less than a year Dos Hombres will have moved from being primarily recognised as a mezcal producer to offering a much broader progression through agave spirits:
Dos Hombres Blanco Tequila – fresh, unaged tequila focused on the character of the agave.
Dos Hombres Reposado Tequila – rested in oak, introducing vanilla and richer barrel influence.
Dos Hombres Añejo Tequila – the forthcoming longer-aged expression, expected to move further towards oak, caramel and mature agave character.
For anyone who has followed the brand since its original Dos Hombres Joven Mezcal, the arrival of an Añejo represents a considerable expansion of what Dos Hombres stands for.
From Breaking Bad to Dos Hombres
The story behind Dos Hombres inevitably begins with Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul.
The two actors became globally recognised for their roles as Walter White and Jesse Pinkman in Breaking Bad, but their partnership continued long after the series ended.
In 2019 they launched Dos Hombres together, initially focusing exclusively on mezcal.
The brand was built around an ambition to make a traditional agave spirit rather than simply attach two famous names to an existing product. Its original Espadín mezcal is produced in Oaxaca with maestro mezcalero Gregorio Velasco, a third-generation producer with decades of experience.
You can explore the original Dos Hombres Joven Mezcal by Bryan Cranston & Aaron Paul at Hard To Find Whisky.
By 2026, however, Cranston and Paul were ready to take Dos Hombres beyond mezcal.
Rather than treating tequila as an unrelated side project, the founders describe it as a natural extension of their wider interest in agave spirits.
Cranston explained that entering tequila was not intended to compete with the existing mezcal range, but instead to complement it. Paul similarly emphasised that their interest had always extended beyond a single category.
The result is a Dos Hombres brand that increasingly encompasses both major Mexican agave-spirit traditions.
Who Makes Dos Hombres Tequila?
One of the most important details behind the new tequila range is the involvement of Julio Cova.
Dos Hombres partnered with Tequilera TAP in Amatitán, Jalisco, to develop its tequilas, bringing Cova into the project as maestro tequilero.
Cova has more than four decades of tequila-making experience.
Dos Hombres says he had stepped away from production before being persuaded to return for the project, describing him as one of the legends of tequila distilling.
That appointment is significant because Cranston and Paul have consistently tried to position Dos Hombres around experienced producers rather than celebrity ownership alone.
For the mezcal, that expertise comes from Gregorio Velasco in Oaxaca.
For the tequila, it comes from Julio Cova in Jalisco.
Cranston and Paul have also been keen to emphasise that they were involved in developing the liquid itself, including agave sourcing and decisions around the desired flavour profile.
How Is Dos Hombres Tequila Made?
Although the exact production specification for the Añejo has not yet been released, Dos Hombres has already established some important principles across its tequila range.
The brand states that its tequila is produced in Jalisco from Blue Weber agave and mountain spring water.
More unusually for the increasingly competitive premium tequila market, Dos Hombres makes a very clear statement about what it does not use.
Cranston has said that the brand's tequilas are made using only agave and water and that Dos Hombres does not add flavourings or additives to its products.
That philosophy is central to the company's current positioning.
Rather than creating an especially sweet or heavily manipulated style of tequila, Dos Hombres says it wants the agave and traditional production process to remain at the centre of the spirit.
The company's own description of its tequila range is similarly straightforward: clean, structured and refined, produced from Blue Weber agave and mountain spring water.
Unless the company announces otherwise, the Añejo can reasonably be expected to continue this broader philosophy. However, its exact production details should not be assumed until Dos Hombres publishes the final specification.
What Will Dos Hombres Añejo Taste Like?
This is one area where Dos Hombres has provided an early clue.
The official Dos Hombres website currently describes its forthcoming Añejo as:
“Rich, aged elegance with deep oak and caramel.”
That is not yet a complete tasting note, but it establishes the intended direction.
The progression through the new tequila range also provides some useful context.
The Blanco is described by Dos Hombres as a crisp expression centred around pure agave, cinnamon and bright citrus.
The Reposado then adds oak maturation and balanced vanilla warmth.
The Añejo is positioned beyond both, with deeper oak and caramel becoming more prominent.
That suggests a deliberate progression from brighter agave character towards increasingly mature and barrel-driven flavours as the range moves from Blanco through Reposado to Añejo.
We would expect Dos Hombres to publish more detailed Nose, Palate and Finish tasting notes closer to launch.
Until then, anything beyond the confirmed oak and caramel description would be speculation.
How Will the Añejo Be Aged?
This remains one of the biggest unanswered questions.
Dos Hombres has not yet confirmed the maturation length or cask type for its Añejo.
That is particularly interesting because we already know more about the Reposado.
Forbes reported that Dos Hombres Reposado spends approximately four months in ex-Four Roses Bourbon barrels, adding additional richness to the underlying tequila.
It might therefore be tempting to assume that the Añejo will simply spend a longer period in the same type of barrel.
At present, there is no confirmation that this will be the case.
The Añejo could continue with ex-Bourbon barrels, use a different oak programme or combine several cask types. Until Dos Hombres publishes that information, the maturation programme should be considered unconfirmed.
For serious tequila drinkers, this is probably the most important detail to watch as the early-2027 launch approaches.
Why Dos Hombres Is Expanding Into Tequila
Tequila is a logical next step for a company that has spent seven years building its name around agave.
Cranston and Paul have both stressed that Dos Hombres was never intended to be limited permanently to mezcal.
Paul has described the move as an opportunity to expand the product line while continuing to work with producers who share the brand's focus on quality and authenticity.
The tequila range also allows Dos Hombres to explore agave in a very different way.
Mezcal is the smoky, complex foundation of the brand, produced in Oaxaca using traditional techniques.
Dos Hombres describes its tequila, by comparison, as cleaner and more structured, using Blue Weber agave in Jalisco.
Cranston has characterised the tequila style as brighter and more vibrant than the company's mezcal, while retaining the same emphasis on simple ingredients and traditional production.
The Añejo should provide the clearest test yet of how that philosophy translates into an extensively oak-aged spirit.
Dos Hombres Blanco, Reposado and Añejo Compared
The three tequilas are designed to show a progression through maturation.
Dos Hombres Blanco Tequila
Blanco was the first Dos Hombres tequila to reach the market, launching in the US in May 2026.
It is made from 100% Blue Weber agave and bottled at 40% ABV in the United States.
The profile is deliberately agave-forward, with Dos Hombres highlighting cinnamon and citrus while independent coverage has also identified pepper, tropical fruit and vegetal notes.
Dos Hombres Reposado Tequila
Reposado followed in July 2026.
The expression is also 40% ABV in the US and, according to Forbes, is matured for around four months in ex-Four Roses Bourbon barrels.
Dos Hombres describes the result as smooth, oak-rested tequila with balanced vanilla warmth.
Dos Hombres Añejo Tequila
The Añejo is the third confirmed expression and is scheduled for 2027.
Its final ABV, bottle size, maturation period, barrel type and price have not yet been announced.
For now, Dos Hombres describes it through deep oak and caramel, indicating a richer and more mature profile than the Blanco and Reposado.
Once released, Dos Hombres Añejo Tequila should complete a clear three-stage introduction to the company's new tequila portfolio.
Is Dos Hombres a Celebrity Tequila?
Technically, yes. But that description only tells part of the story.
The involvement of Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul is undoubtedly central to the brand's profile. Their friendship, Breaking Bad connection and appearances together have given Dos Hombres visibility that most new spirits brands could not achieve.
However, both founders have repeatedly pushed back against the idea that Dos Hombres should be judged purely as a celebrity-backed product.
Paul has said that the company starts with the liquid, while Cranston has emphasised the experience of Tequilera TAP and Julio Cova and the importance of quality and consistency.
That philosophy was already apparent with the original Dos Hombres Joven Mezcal.
Produced in Oaxaca under Gregorio Velasco, the mezcal established the brand as something more serious than a one-off celebrity collaboration.
The tequila range now gives Dos Hombres an opportunity to demonstrate the same approach in a much larger global category.
Dos Hombres Mezcal vs Dos Hombres Tequila
Although both begin with agave, tequila and mezcal are distinct spirits with different production regions, permitted agave varieties and production traditions.
Dos Hombres' original identity lies in Oaxaca.
Its Dos Hombres Joven Mezcal uses Espadín agave and offers the fruity, smoky style that first established the brand.
HTFW's expression is bottled at 42% ABV, with flavours of mango, apple and zapote fruit alongside a restrained smoky finish.
The tequila range, meanwhile, is produced in Jalisco from Blue Weber agave under Julio Cova.
The distinction is important.
Dos Hombres is not attempting to make its tequila taste like its mezcal. Cranston has specifically described the tequila as highlighting a brighter and more precise side of agave, while the mezcal continues to provide the smoky depth upon which the company was founded.
For agave enthusiasts, having both within the same range should make for an interesting comparison.
When Is Dos Hombres Añejo Being Released?
The current target is early 2027.
Dos Hombres' own website currently states simply that the Añejo is “Coming in 2027”, while trade coverage published when the tequila collection was announced specifies an early-2027 launch.
There is not yet a specific month or date.
There is also currently no confirmed UK release date.
The first Blanco and Reposado launches have initially focused on the US market, so UK enthusiasts should not assume that the Añejo will arrive in Britain simultaneously with its American launch.
As more information becomes available, HTFW will update this guide.
Once available, Dos Hombres Añejo Tequila will sit alongside the existing Dos Hombres collection at Hard To Find Whisky.
How Much Will Dos Hombres Añejo Cost?
No recommended retail price has yet been announced for the Añejo.
For context, Dos Hombres launched its Blanco in the United States at approximately $39.99 per 750ml, while the Reposado was announced at approximately $49.99.
It would be logical for the more extensively matured Añejo to sit above the Reposado within the range, but there is currently no confirmed figure and we would not attempt to predict an exact price.
UK pricing will also depend on distribution, bottle format, taxes and allocation.
Until Dos Hombres announces the final release specification, any prices advertised for the Añejo should therefore be treated cautiously.
What ABV Will Dos Hombres Añejo Be?
Again, this has not yet been announced.
Both the initial Blanco and Reposado were introduced to the US at 40% ABV, which establishes a precedent for the new tequila range.
However, that does not mean the Añejo is automatically guaranteed to use the same bottling strength.
Dos Hombres has yet to confirm it.
For accuracy, the ABV of Dos Hombres Añejo Tequila should currently be regarded as unknown.
Will Dos Hombres Añejo Be Additive-Free?
Dos Hombres' stated philosophy is clear.
Cranston has publicly said the company uses agave and water and does not add flavourings or additives to its products. The brand's own website similarly states that every Dos Hombres mezcal and tequila is made using agave and mountain spring water.
That is a strong indication of how Dos Hombres intends to approach its entire tequila portfolio.
However, because detailed technical information for the Añejo itself has not yet been released, the most precise wording at this stage is that Dos Hombres says its tequila philosophy excludes added flavourings and additives.
More detailed production information should follow closer to launch.
What We Still Don't Know About Dos Hombres Añejo
Despite the release now being officially acknowledged, plenty remains to be revealed.
We are still waiting for confirmation of:
- The exact 2027 release date
- The final ABV
- Bottle size
- Exact maturation period
- Cask type or cask types
- Whether Four Roses Bourbon barrels will be used as they are for the Reposado
- Full official tasting notes
- US recommended retail price
- UK release timing
- UK recommended retail price
- UK allocation
- Final bottle and packaging details
That means there should be considerably more information to come between now and launch.
Why the Añejo Could Be the Most Interesting Dos Hombres Tequila Yet
Blanco is where a distillery's base tequila can be judged with little influence from wood.
Reposado begins to show what happens when that spirit meets oak.
Añejo takes that interaction much further.
That makes the forthcoming Dos Hombres release particularly interesting because it should reveal how Julio Cova and the Dos Hombres team want mature tequila from the brand to taste.
We already know the intended direction: deep oak and caramel.
What we do not yet know is how they intend to achieve it.
The length of maturation, type of barrel, previous contents of those casks and final bottling strength could all have a meaningful effect on the finished tequila.
Those are the details worth watching as the release approaches.
Final Thoughts
Dos Hombres Añejo Tequila represents another major step in the evolution of Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul's agave spirits brand.
Dos Hombres began in 2019 with artisanal mezcal from Oaxaca. Seven years later, it has entered tequila with a complete maturation-led range produced in Jalisco under veteran maestro tequilero Julio Cova.
Blanco arrived first.
Reposado followed.
Añejo is next.
The brand has officially confirmed that the expression is coming in 2027, while launch coverage points towards early 2027. Dos Hombres is already positioning the tequila around richer aged character, deep oak and caramel.
Beyond that, there is still plenty to learn.
The exact maturation, barrels, ABV, pricing and UK availability remain unconfirmed, and those details will determine just how distinctive the Añejo is within an increasingly crowded premium tequila market.
For now, fans of the brand can explore Dos Hombres Joven Mezcal by Bryan Cranston & Aaron Paul and the wider Dos Hombres collection at Hard To Find Whisky.
