Description
Ilegal Mezcal Reposado
Reposado Mezcal | 40% ABV (80 Proof) | 750 mL
Process & Profile
Ilegal Mezcal Reposado is crafted from 100% Espadín agave grown in Oaxaca, roasted traditionally in underground pits, crushed by stone milling, and double distilled. It is then aged for about six months in a combination of new and used American oak barrels with medium char. No additives, colorings, or artificial yeast are used—just pure, artisanal spirit.

Finish: Medium-long—oak-driven, layered with vanilla, toasted grain, light pepper, and earth
