This reposado (aged 4 months in medium char American oak barrels) mezcal is produced from Espadín agave cooked in a earth pit using both mesquite and eucalyptus wood. The roasted agave is then milled by tahona and fermented in oak vats before being double distilled in small copper stills.
Ilegal (pronounced ‘eeh-lay-gal’)" is so named after John Rexer was unable to import his mezcal into the USA under the name ‘illegal’. The wax-sealed bottles have a parchment-style label and are hand-numbered.
