Introducing 7 Year Añejo

Exceptionally smooth, especially rare. Aged for over seven years in 35 barrels of French Oak, Ilegal Mezcal 7 Year Añejo makes for an exceptional gift, or an ideal sidekick to break out on a special night.


Ilegal Mezcal helped introduce the world to aged mezcal with its Reposado and Añejo expressions, and our new Limited Edition 7 Year Añejo further expands our showcasing of barrel aged innovation and artisanal craft. A very limited quantity is available at our online shop, and arrives to select markets in December 2022.

Ilegal Mezcal Recipes

Handcrafted in small-batches, Ilegal Mezcal has a beautifully balanced profile, with a mouthful of agave and a hint of smoke. A unique and complex taste for those who enjoy sipping spirits like tequila, bourbon, or craft gin.

While our mezcal is perfect neat, it is exceptional in cocktails – originals and reimagined classics alike.  Check out our signature mezcal cocktail recipes, and try Ilegal as the base spirit in a Mezcal Margarita, a Mezcal Mule, or your favorite cocktail.

JOVEN . REPOSADO . AÑEJO .

Ilegal Mezcal has a beautifully balanced profile, with a mouthful of agave and a hint of smoke.

Handcrafted in small batches by fourth-generation mezcaleros, our Joven, Reposado, and Añejo mezcals are all made with perfectly ripe, sustainable Espadín agave, double distilled in the Santiago Matatlan Valley of Oaxaca, Mexico.

Commitment to quality is apparent in every step of our process, from harvest to first sip.

Our New 100% Recycled Glass Bottles

Ilegal Mezcal has strengthened our commitment to an eco-friendly foundation and future, announcing that all bottles will be made with 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) glass.


Due to the recent global glass shortage, we suddenly found ourselves with no access to the bottles we had used for years. What could have thrown off production, however, ended up a silver lining – we took swift action to identify and shift to a new partner. 


As of April 2022, the new recycled bottles, both 750ml and 375ml, are now the only Ilegal Mezcal bottles shipping out of Mexico.
