The Story

About Ilegal Mezcal Reposado

Crafted from sustainable Espadin agave, Ilegal Mezcal Reposado is aged for four months in 200-liter, medium-charred ex-bourbon casks. The artisanal process begins with roasting the piñas in underground ovens in small batches for approximately five days. The piñas are then chopped into smaller pieces and finally crushed to a mash by a tahona, a stone mill drawn by a horse (Hernandez's horse is named Caballo Sin Nombre, which means "a horse with no name"). The mash is then fermented for up to two weeks by airborne yeasts – no yeast is added – before it is distilled in 250-liter copper pot stills. Ilegal Mezcal Reposado is adored for its balance of of flavors of clove, butterscotch, and hints of vanilla.

About Ilegal Mezcal

Desperate for a good agave-based spirit to stock at his bar (Café No Se) in Antigua, John Rexer began smuggling artisanal mezcal from Mexico to Guatemala using banditos, river rafts, bribes, disguises, and late night drop points. As word spread about Rexer's illegal mezcal, travelers and tourists, journalists and photographers and lawyers and businessmen began patronizing Rexer's bar and smuggling the mezcal from Guatemala back to the United States. Simply put, Ilegal Mezcal began as an illegal pursuit to stock Café No Se with some of the finest spirits being distilled in Mexico.

About Mezcal

Mezcal is a distilled spirit made from roasted agave plants between two days and two weeks, which gives it a distinct smokey flavor.
What scotch is for whisk(e)y, mezcal is for tequila.

It can be made from different types of agave in different parts of Mexico, but most of it (60%) comes from the state of Oaxaca. Mezcal offers a large diversity of flavor profiles and ranges between 40 and 55% ABV.
