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 our 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 now available at our online shop and in select markets.

Mezcal, handcrafted in Oaxaca.

Enjoy Ilegal Mezcal Reposado on the beach, with citrus and tajín.

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.
