Born out of a love for authenticity and rebellion, Ilegal Mezcal is a bold and honest expression of artisanal mezcal-making traditions from Oaxaca. Originally smuggled across the Guatemalan border to supply a bar owned by the brand’s founder, John Rexer, Ilegal has grown into one of the most respected names in mezcal, without losing its independent spirit. Crafted from 100% Espadín agave, Ilegal Mezcal is distilled using traditional methods—roasting agave hearts in underground earthen ovens and fermenting naturally with wild yeast. The result is a mezcal that is beautifully balanced: rich and smoky, yet smooth and approachable.
Ilegal Mezcal Anejo
40% abv
Vol- 70cl
Velvety throughout. An exceptional drinking mezcal.
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.
