Ilegal Mezcal Anejo 750 ml

Ilegal Mezcal Anejo is rested in ex-bourbon barrels for over a year, which softens mezcal's typically assertive smoke into something rounder and more approachable without losing the underlying agave character. Built primarily on Espadin agave, expect smoke layered with vanilla, caramel, and light oak from the barrel time, finishing smoother than Ilegal's Joven or Reposado expressions. Ilegal was founded on the idea of making mezcal approachable for newcomers without dumbing down the category, and this Anejo is the brand's furthest step in that direction — a good entry point for whiskey or bourbon drinkers curious about mezcal.

How to drink Ilegal Mezcal Anejo

Sip neat in a small glass to let the smoke and barrel notes develop. It also makes an excellent smoky substitute for whiskey in an Old Fashioned.
