About this mezcal
400 Conejos Anejo is made with maguey Espadin in Tlacolula, Oaxaca. This mezcal is made in a copper still, and it is aged in American oak barrels before bottling. The aging of this mezcal gives it a caramel color and a sweeter, softer taste.
400 Conejos Mezcal
Mezcal 400 Conejos is named after the ancestral belief that agave spirits were occupied by 400 rabbits. Those who ingested the agave spirits would be controlled by one of the 400 rabbits, but no one ever knew which rabbit you’d get with each mezcal. Each rabbit had a different personality and way of making you think and act. Mezcal 400 Conejos’ expressions are made with agave Espadin, and their mezcal is marketed mostly for cocktails.

This nose is sweet caramel and light alcohol vapors. The low ABV is obvious even before you taste it.
Sour oak overpowers most of the other flavors here but some do still come through as vegetal undertones. White pepper, parsley, caramel and coffee mostly – it’s odd-ish but not terrible, almost too sweet being its biggest offense.
The finish is pleasant and lingers a bit longer than any other 400 offering but not like your standard high-quality Mezcals do. Sips okay and works well enough for a mixer but not outstanding in either category. At $40 bottle (and available only in Mexico as far as I know) I recommend buying one just to try but that’s about it. Probably best to pass on this if any other quality options are available.
