Ilegal Mezcal Reposado Special Edition 750mL

Crafted from sustainable Espadin agave, Ilegal Mezcal Reposado is aged for four months in 200-liter, medium-charred ex-bourbon casks.

The artisanal process begins with roasting the piñas in underground ovens in small batches for approximately five days. The piñas are then chopped into smaller pieces and finally crushed to a mash by a tahona, a stone mill drawn by a horse (Hernandez's horse is named Caballo Sin Nombre, which means "a horse with no name").

The mash is then fermented for up to two weeks by airborne yeasts – no yeast is added – before it is distilled in 250-liter copper pot stills. Ilegal Mezcal Reposado is adored for its balance of of flavors of clove, butterscotch, and hints of vanilla.
