400 Conejos Mezcal Joven is finely crafted from 100% Espadín agave in Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca, Mexico using traditional methods. Only the best Espadín agaves are hand-selected after being meticulously cultivated.

It is produced by maestro mezcalero Don Tacho, who carefully selects the agave Espadin when they have reached maturity after 8-10 years. This mezcal is traditionally produced using a stone oven (horno), horse-drawn tahona, and copper distillation.

After selection, the agaves are harvested using “jima” and taken to the “palenque” where they are cooked in traditional cone-shaped wood ovens. The wood is lit, and volcanic rocks are placed on top of it in a pyramid shape. Finally, the agave “piña”-filled oven is covered with cloth and earth and cooked for 3 to 5 days.

This award-winning mezcal is well-balanced and smooth with soft hints of wood, sweet notes of cooked agave, and a pleasant smoky finish.
