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.

2 reviewsOn the nose, first, I get a strong smoke, followed by hints of mineral tea grass, and a slight bit of citrus on the flavor. I get a full body cigar very herbal, but after the first couple of sips, it’s quite enjoyable.

ABV: 40%
One of the better 400 offerings, the nose is slightly sour cooked agave with a nice mid-amount of smoke. Still a heavy presence of alcohol on the nose despite its low ABV and definitely much nicer than the blue, purple and green label 400 offerings.
The juice is sweet and spicy, a decent hint of Cuishe comes through. Red pepper, smoke again and burnt corn finish it out This expression is quite light though and unfortunately the Cuishe does not linger whatsoever, the flavors dissipate too quickly for me.
Makes an excellent Mezcal Mule or Margarita and at $35/bottle in Mexico it’s a great low-priced option or introduction to someone new to Mezcals.
