Ilegal - Mezcal Joven
Ilegal Description
For over a decade, a small group of artists, musicians, writers and travelers have been drinking Ilegal Mezcal, a handcrafted Mexican spirit with a notorious history that includes smuggling and weeklong parties in Café No Se, a clandestine bar and music hub in Antigua, Guatemala.
Commitment to quality is apparent in every step of our process, from harvest to first sip. Our artisanal mezcal is produced in small lots - each bottle is hand corked, labeled, and numbered.
Our practices reflect our commitment to sustainability and biodiversity in the Oaxaca region.
One hundred percent natural, Ilegal uses no artificial colors, yeasts, flavors, or additives. Just agave, sun, and time.
JOVEN Un-aged. Full bodied agave flavor. Eucalyptus and mineral aromas compliment hints of green apple, fresh citrus, and red chiltepe. Light smoke. Lingering heat. Ideal for cocktails or perfect on its own.
Wine Enthusiast
This smooth, well-balanced mezcal seems unremarkable at first, but has a certain addictiveness. The clear color and sweet, vegetal, slightly smoky fragrance seems pleasant but ordinary. But the alluring honeyed pepper notes and silky mouthfeel bring you back for more.
