Aged for 13 months in a blend of American and French oak, Ilegal Añejo Mezcal is widely recognised for its quality. Maple on the nose with sweet agave notes to taste - it's so smooth!

Ilegal Reposado Mezcal

Ilegal Reposado Mezcal is velvety throughout with a caramelised pear and bitter orange note and on the nose. It's an exceptional mezcal for those who like to drink theirs straight up.

"Although purists will assert that mezcal should not be oak-aged, I think Ilegal is a great example of a favourable outcome of aging mezcal. Enjoy it neat, or use it as a base in aromatic cocktail like the Sweet Manhattan or Old Fashioned. "
