ILEGAL MEZCAL REPOSADO CARIBBEAN CASK TEQUILA 750ML

Ilegal Mezcal Reposado Caribbean Cask Finish 750 mL

• Tasting / Profile

  • Caramelized pear and orange zest on the nose; butterscotch, light smoke, and baking-spice (nutmeg/clove/cinnamon) on a smooth, agave-forward palate; subtle tropical lift from the rum-cask finish.

• Menu Versatility

  • Serve neat or on the rocks; brand calls out the Ilegal Daiquiri—easy win where rum usually plays. Also slots cleanly into Mezcal Old Fashioneds and highballs/sodas.

  • Flight idea: “Barrel Influence” (standard Reposado vs. Caribbean Cask) to show finish impact and ladder pricing.

• Operational Efficiency

  • ABV/Proof: 42% (84 proof). Format/Yield: 750 mL = 25.4 oz → ~16 × 1.5-oz pours.

  • Build: Reposado aged ~4 months, then finished 2 months in barrels that previously held 8-year Caribbean rum (Bacardí 8 noted by major retailer). 

  • Agave/Origin: 100% Espadín, Oaxaca; artesanal production per CRM materials—consistent, cocktail-friendly profile.

  • Shelf-stable; cork/wax top is quick once broken (push to crack wax, then pull). 

• Profit Potential

  • Position as a “Rum-Cask Reposado Upgrade” for Margaritas, Daiquiris, and Old Fashioneds—easy guest yes with unique story.

  • Feature in finished-spirit flights (sherry/port/rum finishes) to drive discovery and premiums with minimal extra prep.

  • Batch-friendly for high-volume specs (Daiquiri/Collins)—fast tickets, low waste, consistent flavor cues.

42% ABV espadín mezcal—aged, then finished 2 months in 8-year Caribbean rum casks for butterscotch, spice, and a gentle tropical lift.
