Mezcal Tasting
Clint Eastwood, the Pope, and Yoda walk into a bar...
...It was at this point I realized, it was the mezcal...
We invite you to partake in a mezcal tasting experience. For your rumination and tasting pleasure there are three expressions from the gold standard of luxury mezcal: Ilegal. You’ll notice that these are matched with three tasting glasses by Cocktail Kingdom specifically designed for Mezcal. Please, sit down and pour all three, because super volcanoes are a real thing. (see future offerings)
Through your tasting flight, you will find a paradoxical comingling of flavors that stimulates all sides of your palette from smokey and savory to lightly tangy, sweet and supple. All of these are matched with pairings of culinary delights to bring out the flavors that you will find within the mezcals. Cinnamon chili chocolate, smoked Oaxacan mole, cream blood orange crisps, and mango chili jerky... these have been specifically selected based on the essences that you find in waiting for you in your three pours of exceptional mezcal.
Sustainably crafted in Oaxaca, Mexico.
[Around 2004, Ilegal's founder John Rexer began bringing mezcal down from Oaxaca to Antigua to supply his bar, Café No Sé. The mezcal became popular very quickly. At the time, he was bringing down unbranded mezcal from a variety of villages in Oaxaca that included: Tlacolula, San Lorenzo, Sola De Vega, Santa Catarina Minas, Hierve el Agua, Santiago Matatlan and a few others.
In 2006, John created the brand Ilegal, originally just to supply his bar in Guatemala. On the back of each bottle of Ilegal you will find it says "Originally produced for: Café No Sé, Mezcal Bar."]
