Product Description
Aged for 4 months in ex-bourbon barrels. Sweet agave, light smoke. Toffee, vanilla, and hints of butterscotch and caramelized pear on the palate. Velvety throughout. Ilegal began back in 2003ish, very informally & almost by mistake. Ilegal’s founder, John Rexer, was transporting mezcal "creatively" from Oaxaca to supply his bar, Café no Sé in Antigua Guatemala. The first mezcal bar outside of Mexico. In 2006, the brand, Ilegal, was created, originally to continue to supply the bar in Guatemala. As tribute to this origin, the back of each bottle of Ilegal reads, “Originally produced for: Café No Sé Mezcal Bar".

Mezcal, often dubbed as tequila's smoky and adventurous cousin, is a distinctive Mexican spirit with a rich and flavorful personality. Crafted from the agave plant, Mezcal stands out for its unique production methods, which include roasting the agave hearts in earthen pits, giving it that signature smoky essence. Each batch of Mezcal is a testament to artisanal craftsmanship, with maestros mezcaleros overseeing the entire process, from harvest to bottling. The spirit's flavor profile is diverse, ranging from earthy and herbal notes to a delightful smokiness that sets it apart. Sipped neat or enjoyed in creative cocktails, Mezcal offers an exciting and cultural journey, capturing the spirit of Mexico in every drop.
