DescriptionDiscover the soul of traditional Oaxacan mezcal with 400 Conejos Espadin, a beautifully crafted expression that showcases why Espadin agave remains the backbone of Mexico's mezcal tradition. Named after the mythical 400 rabbits of pulque legend, this mezcal honors ancient traditions while delivering a refined spirit that serves as an perfect introduction to the category or a reliable favorite for seasoned enthusiasts.
The pristine clarity speaks to the careful distillation process. On the nose, classic mezcal aromas emerge—gentle smoke mingles with cooked agave sweetness, complemented by citrus peel, green herbs, and a touch of black pepper. The palate delivers a harmonious balance of flavors: roasted agave provides a sweet, earthy foundation while mesquite smoke adds depth without overwhelming. Notes of lime, salt, and mineral undertones create complexity, leading to a clean finish with lingering warmth and a pleasant smoky sweetness.
What makes 400 Conejos Espadin exceptional is its perfect balance between tradition and refinement. While some Espadin mezcals can be one-dimensional, this expression showcases the variety's full potential through careful production methods. The smoke is present but integrated, the agave character shines through clearly, and the overall profile is both complex enough for sipping and versatile enough for cocktails. It represents mezcal craftsmanship at its most accessible without sacrificing authenticity.
Enjoy neat to appreciate its nuanced character, or use as the foundation for elevated cocktails where its balanced profile won't overpower other ingredients. This mezcal bridges the gap between casual enjoyment and serious appreciation, making it equally at home in a margarita or sipped alongside orange slices and sal de gusano. For those beginning their mezcal journey or seeking a dependable expression that never disappoints, 400 Conejos Espadin offers an authentic taste of Oaxaca's liquid heritage.
