Dalton Kreiss is an athletic, solitary, and driven midwestern guy. He's always pursued ideas for businesses and ways to add value to those around him. After studies abroad, a new sense of entrepreneurship was born. However, in which direction and for whom remained a question. Years later, the subscription service Maguey Melate was founded. Just before a behemoth of a mezcal tasting, we sit down and chat about Michael Jordan, being new to Mexico, teamwork and more.

Ninotchka Gandula, or as she's fondly known, Nino, is the national brand ambassador for Ojo de Tiger.

As the rise of N/A spirits continues, Almave, the blue agave alternative, will bring new conversations and opportunities as Nino's role expands. We talk about travel, boundaries, and calling it an early night.
