Ilegal Mezcal was founded by John Rexer in 2006, originating as a house spirit smuggled into his legendary bar, Café No Sé, in Antigua, Guatemala. The brand's rebellious spirit and focus on quality artisanal production made it one of the first globally recognized premium mezcals.
Handcrafted in small batches in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, by fourth-generation mezcaleros using traditional artisanal methods. The espadín agave is roasted in conical earthen pits, crushed by a horse-drawn tahona wheel, and double-distilled in small copper pot stills.
