Frequently Asked Questions About Ilegal Mezcal

What is the origin of Ilegal Mezcal?

Ilegal Mezcal originated in 2004 when John Rexer began smuggling artisanal mezcal from Mexico to Guatemala to stock his bar, Café No Sé, in Antigua. The brand was officially established in 2006 and is known for its commitment to traditional mezcal production methods.

What distinguishes Ilegal Mezcal from other mezcals?

Ilegal Mezcal is crafted using 100% Espadín agave, harvested in Oaxaca, Mexico. The agave is cooked in earthen pits, crushed by a tahona, and distilled in small batches, resulting in a mezcal that balances smoky flavors with nuanced notes unique to each expression.
