Ilegal Mezcal Reposado 'Caribbean Cask Finish' is a distinguished spirit crafted in Oaxaca, Mexico, where mezcal traditions flourish. This limited edition mezcal undergoes a unique aging process, finishing in barrels previously used for 8-year Caribbean rum, which infuses it with a subtle tropical essence. This innovative method enhances the mezcal's already rich and smoky profile, resulting in a spirit that embodies both tradition and modern refinement.
On the palate, Ilegal Reposado reveals complex layers of earthy agave, complemented by notes of charred oak, vanilla, caramel, and a hint of coconut from the rum casks. Its distinctive balance of smoky depth and inviting sweetness makes it ideal for sipping slowly or elevating cocktails, such as a classic margarita or mezcal old-fashioned. This mezcal is a celebration of heritage, skillfully merging Oaxacan roots with a playful Caribbean twist.
