Illegal

IBA

A modern creation that bridges the smoky agave traditions of Oaxaca with the rum-soaked spirit of the Caribbean, the Illegal is a bold collision of two worlds. The mezcal's char and earthiness play against the tropical sweetness of falernum and the floral bite of maraschino, with overproof rum amplifying the whole affair into something deliberately unruly.
