Mezcal Artesanal | 40% ABV (80 Proof) | 750 mL | Oaxaca, Mexico | 100% Espadín Agave, Copper Pot Distilled

Process & Profile

400 Conejos Joven Mezcal is crafted in Oaxaca, Mexico, using 100% Espadín agave cultivated in the region’s mineral-rich soils. The agave hearts (piñas) are slow-roasted in traditional underground pit ovens lined with volcanic rock, imparting a subtle smoky character. After crushing, the fermented agave juice is double distilled in copper pot stills, resulting in a clean, smooth mezcal that balances earthy smoke, vegetal sweetness, and gentle citrus notes. The name “400 Conejos” references an ancient Zapotec legend symbolizing creativity and spiritual celebration.
