Tequila & Mezcal: Elevated
The Good Stuff from Jalisco to Oaxaca
Forget everything you thought you knew about Tequila.
This isn’t for slamming at 2am with a wince and a regret chaser.
This isn’t Tequila’s glow-up – it’s Tequila’s return to form. Grown with care, distilled with intent, and made to be enjoyed like any other great spirit: with attention, appreciation, and the occasional oversized ice cube.
It’s time to really respect the agave spirits. Mezcal is as rich and rewarding as any Cognac. You wouldn’t put supermarket cola in your best whisky, so why settle for basic when it comes to Tequila?
Whether you’re just getting into the world of agave spirits or ready to level up, we’ve got something exceptional waiting for you.
Tequila for cocktails
PiÑa Picante Margarita
This one brings the beach heat and the chilli kick. Fresh pineapple juice and Herradura Tequila lay down the fruit-forward base, while serrano peppers bring the fire. Think Margarita, but turned up to eleven.

Tequila for special occasions
Cincoro Añejo
Tasting Notes
Nose:
Deep caramel and vanilla arrive first, followed by roasted agave, dark chocolate, toasted coconut, and cigar box spice.
Palate:
Silky and indulgent. Butterscotch, crème brûlée, candied orange, and baking spices roll over the tongue, underpinned by charred oak and a subtle hint of dried cherry.
Finish:
Long, warm, and elegant with a slow fade of toffee, dark cocoa, and aged wood.
Cincoro Grand Fashioned
The Grand Fashioned swaps bourbon for Cincoro Añejo. Add a touch of agave nectar and bitters, and you’ve got a serve that’s smooth, deep, and dangerously sippable. The garnish? Classic. The mood? Absolutely first class.

Mezcal: more than a spirit
Ilegal Reposado
Tasting Notes
Nose:
Warming wood smoke, vanilla pod, grilled pineapple, and roasted agave. Hints of cocoa and green herbs linger underneath.
Palate:
Creamy and gently smoky. Flavours of baked banana, toasted spice, agave syrup, and charred oak develop with a savoury edge.
Finish:
Smooth and smoky with a little black pepper, fading into sweet spice and agave earthiness.
Ilegal Matador
A stripped-back stirred serve that brings Ilegal Reposado’s smooth mezcal character into sharp focus. With dry vermouth and dry curaçao for structure and lift, it’s an agave-driven take on a Martini – smoky, citrusy, and just a little dangerous.
