Ilegal Mezcal Anejo 375 ml

Ilegal Añejo is aged mezcal from Ilegal Mezcal, made from 100% Espadín agave and rested a minimum of 12 months in American oak barrels — noticeably longer than most mezcal on the market, which tends to stay unaged or lightly rested. Expect smoky, roasted agave character layered with vanilla, caramel, and baking spice picked up from the barrel, closing on a smooth, warming finish. It's a good crossover bottle for whiskey drinkers curious about mezcal, since the barrel time softens the smoke without erasing it.

How to drink Ilegal Añejo

Sip it neat like you would an aged whiskey — the barrel time makes it more forgiving without ice than a typical joven mezcal. It also works well in an añejo-style Old Fashioned if you want smoke instead of the usual rye spice.
