Ilegal Mezcal offers three mezcal expressions: Joven, Reposado, and Añejo.
Our Joven is un-aged, and offers full bodied agave flavor. Light smoke, lingering heat. Ideal for cocktails or perfect on its own. Tasting notes: eucalyptus and mineral aromas compliment hints of green apple, fresh citrus, and red chiltepe.
Each lot of Ilegal Mezcal Reposado is aged to taste for 6 months, using a combination of new and used American oak, medium char barrels. Our barrels are sourced from Kelvin Cooperage, a family-run business since 1963. Caramelized pear and bitter orange on the nose. Clove, butterscotch, and hints of vanilla on the palate. Velvety throughout. An exceptional drinking mezcal.
Each lot of Ilegal Mezcal Añejo is aged to taste for 13 months, using a combination of new and used American oak, medium char barrels. Our barrels are sourced from Kelvin Cooperage, a family-run business since 1963. Tasting notes are maple, clove, and bitter orange aromas. Dark chocolate and sweet agave on the palate. A gorgeous spirit rivaling the world’s finest scotches and cognacs. Rounded. Full. Rich. Yet untamed.
