Description
400 Conejos Mezcal Joven
400 Conejos Mezcal Joven is a traditional mezcal made from 100% agave Espadín grown in Oaxaca, Mexico. The agave hearts are cooked in an underground pit oven, then crushed by a horse-drawn tahona, and naturally fermented with wild yeast. After fermentation, it is double-distilled in copper stills, resulting in a smooth and flavorful spirit.
The name "400 Conejos" translates to "400 rabbits" and is a reference to a famous Aztec legend in which the gods gifted rabbits to the Aztec people as a symbol of hospitality. The brand is committed to sustainable and fair trade practices, working closely with local farmers and distillers to ensure quality and environmental responsibility.
Tasting notes: 400 Conejos Mezcal Joven has a rich aroma of smoky agave, with hints of citrus and tropical fruit. On the palate, it has a smooth and complex flavor, with notes of roasted agave, caramel, and pepper, and a long, smoky finish. It is best enjoyed neat or in cocktails.
