Ilegal tends to age theirs for a total of 13 months which helps it to develop beautiful honey-like characteristics that make it a very delectable spirit that one would expect from a longer aged Mezcal. This ageing process helps to show off the quality of the casks which have been used and really show off its character, making it perfect to be enjoyed one sip at a time.

As a result, the smoke integrates exquisitely that creates a medium-bodied mezcal with those sweet highlights.
