Ilegal Mezcal Joven

Ilegal Mezcal Joven is an unaged mezcal produced in Oaxaca, Mexico, embodying the spirit of the region's rich mezcal tradition. Originating from a story of cross-border passion and smuggling, it has become a legitimate and beloved spirit among artists and musicians. Crafted from 100% espadín agave, Ilegal Joven is known for its bright, crisp flavors and botanical aromas, distilled to capture the pure essence of agave.

Nose: Botanical with notes of green bell pepper, chili pepper, and an undercurrent of earthy tones, complemented by sweet tropical fruits like pineapple, grapefruit, and blood orange.

Palate: Delivers a clean taste with vegetal and smoky flavors, reminiscent of peat, balanced with the brightness of citrus.

Finish: Ends with a gentle burn, leaving a lingering smoky impression akin to a mild cigar.

Ilegal Mezcal Joven pairs excellently with grilled meats and robust Mexican dishes, enhancing the smoky flavors. It's also perfect for citrus-based cocktails, such as a classic Margarita or a Paloma, where its crispness and botanical notes can truly shine.
