History
After thinking about the Sfumato-Ancho Reyes combination in two drinks, the Ashes in Our Mouths and Comanche Club, I decided to tinker. I combined that duo with the rye-mezcal combination that I learned from recipes like the Devil's Soul plus a touch of mole bitters. For a name, I dubbed this the Devil's Disciple after a possible reference to Alestair Crowley in Ernest Hemingway's posthumous A Moveable Feast book written about Paris in the 1920s.
