Ilegal Mezcal Joven 375 ml

Ilegal Mezcal Joven is an unaged mezcal that showcases the vibrant character of agave with a balance of fresh fruit, minerals, subtle smoke and gentle heat.

Bottled directly after distillation without barrel aging, the Joven expression retains a fresh, agave-forward personality. Ilegal describes it as full-bodied, with light smoke and a lingering warmth that makes it equally suited to sipping neat or mixing into cocktails. Ilegal Mezcal

The aromatic profile brings together eucalyptus and mineral notes with hints of green apple, fresh citrus and red chiltepe, resulting in a bright and expressive style rather than an overwhelmingly smoky mezcal. Ilegal Mezcal

Presented here in a convenient 375ml half-bottle and bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof), Ilegal Mezcal Joven is an approachable introduction to the brand's signature style. The Joven has also earned Double Platinum, the highest distinction at the ASCoT Awards. Ilegal Mezcal
