Production Notes
Crafted in small batches by our Maestro Mezcalero, the process starts with roasting hand-selected mature agave hearts in a convivial earthen pit for a full week. Once roasted, the agave is patiently allowed to cool before being crushed and combined with water to ferment in pinewood vats, using wild yeasts. Distillation is carried out in small copper stills. The newly crafted mezcal is then placed in Caribbean rum barrels, where it rests for about four months, absorbing an array of delightful flavors. This meticulous handcrafted process results in the Ilegal Mezcal Reposado Caribbean Cask Finish—a mezcal that not only showcases its origins but also reflects the unique influence of the Caribbean.
