Ilegal Joven Mezcal is an unaged mezcal from Ilegal, originally produced for the Café no Sé in Guatemala and thankfully now making its way out into the wider world. This is hand crafted distilling at it's finest. Produced using a blend of double & triple distilled Espadin agave, this mezcal shows roasted red peppers, smoke and clay.
