THE JOURNEY

Dandeleón was born throught the hard work and dedication of the De León brothers to create a mezcal that brings people together. Just like It did with them.

Like anything worth creating, Dandeleón has taken us time and effort, however, we believe hardships make you stronger, and with hard work and dedication any dream can come true.

Dandeleón has been created for the bold, the resillent, the dreamers and doers. As a representation of strength and freedom for those who care to share a good mezcal with their loved ones.

“All my life I have felt a burning desire to create. A designer and an entrepreneur, I have always had a drive to create. Becoming a designer set me on the right track, as it gave me the tools and knowledge to know how to shape my ideas. I am a creator and a dreamer who believes that through dedication, perseverance and focus you can achieve any goal you have.”

“My passion is traveling and experiencing different cultures. Traveling is a great opportunity to be free and get to know yourself.” He believes hard work and having a clear set of objectives to follow is what has brought him to where he is at right now. “Falling is part of life. We all need to fall down, that keeps us humble. Every fall is a chance to learn and improve yourself. I’m a corporate attorney practicing in New York but also and entrepreneur. My family is the most important factor for me being where I am today.”
