Ilegal Reposado Mezcal, 70cl, 40% ABV

Product Information

As the flavour builds you’ll enjoy notes of citrus and smooth honey, leading to a sweet and short aftertaste of honeyed vanilla and citrus zest. Smooth from the first sip, you can taste the smokiness of the oak used in the maturation process and light fresh agave also comes through quickly. My rule of life prescribed as an absolutely sacred rite smoking cigars and also the drinking of alcohol before, after and if need be during all meals and in the intervals between them. Check out our signature mezcal cocktail recipes, and try Ilegal as the base spirit in a Mezcal Margarita, a Mezcal Mule, or your favorite cocktail.

Many aficionados only start to get excited with the Reposado, when it comes to either tequila or mezcal.

The agave's are roasted for 5-7 days in earth lined pits and are then crushed using a horse drawn Tahona stone mill. Artisanal Mezcal from Oaxaca's central valleys, rested in American white oak barrels for four months. The influence of the oak quickly becomes obvious, with vanilla and spice developing - nutmeg and sharp clove.The aroma is thick with smoke and woody notes, peppered with notes of chilli and a flavour which is massively hot and spicy yet somehow creamy in the mouth. This artisan spirit is created by brothers and fourth-generation mezcaleros Armando and Alvaro Hernandez. Produced by the expert mezcaleros at Ilegal Mezcal in Oaxaca, Mexico, this aged mezcal is made with 100% Espadín agave, roasted in underground pits and fermented with wild yeasts. Buttery notes meld with vegetal sweetness to offer a combination you wouldn’t expect to work, but it does!

Once in his bar it didn't take long for word to get out about this smooth and smoky spirit that was only available from the backroom at Café No Se. The spirit is then aged for four months in American oak barrels, resulting in a smooth and nuanced flavour profile with notes of vanilla, caramel, and smoke. It was in 2004 that Ilegal Mezcal's founder John Rexer began bringing unbranded mezcal from a variety of villages in Oaxaca to Antigua to supply his bar, Cafe No Se.Our aged mezcals are rested in a combination of new and used American oak, medium char barrels, a unique and complex taste for those who enjoy sipping spirits. All Ilegal Mezcal bottles are made with 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) glass that would otherwise remain in landfills.
