Full bodied agave flavor. Eucalyptus and mineral aromas compliment hints of green apple, fresh citrus, and red chiltepe. Hint of smoke. Ilegal began back in 2003ish, very informally & almost by mistake. Ilegal’s founder, John Rexer, was transporting mezcal "creatively" from Oaxaca to supply his bar, Café no Sé in Antigua Guatemala. The first mezcal bar outside of Mexico. A very light smoke emerges, disappears and emerges again from behind anise, white pepper and green apple. Consistently smooth with a lingering heat. Distinct notes of espadin agave throughout this young mezcal.
