400 Conejos Joven

Smoky and bit bitter. Smooth flavor, but overall it’s very watery. You find it everywhere in Mexico, but it’s definitively not a good mezcal.

I like it for the price points. $40 in North Canada.
It’s slightly smoky and gets the job done in Mezcal cocktails. No real flavors.
Industrial Mezcal, sure. But still better than a few Industrials I’ve had.

So I picked this up for $24.99 at the local liquor store. And I have purchased $60 mezcal that tastes no better. I mean it’s not something rare and expensive but it will do fine for sipping. You get a nice mellow smoke and smooth flavor for a good price

It seems like this Mezcal is in every bar in Mexico. If they only have one Mezcal, it’s probably 400 Conejos. I don’t hate it, I can see why people who don’t like Mezcal like this one. It’s very “smooth”, no alcohol burn at all in fact. Not much flavor either unfortunately, some vanilla, a faint hint of burnt electrical wiring. Instantly forgettable.

This is a very easy-to-drink mezcal, nice nose with a hint of smoke. Complex balanced taste vegetal, pepper, spice, and a little smoke, finished a little vanilla and anise, definite sipper.

Really i don’t know where you got your bottles, been drinking this Mezcal for few years and never see a 38 abv bottle, all mines are 40 ABV great flavor, in my state WA is a $45 and is 40ABV

Date 10/21

I agree with most of the reviews. The ABV is too low for me so I am not a big fan. On the other hand, I think is a very approachable mezcal (especially for its price). It might be a good option for anyone who has never tried neat mezcal before or wants to mix it into a cocktail. Its layer flavors are not smoky, very light and soothing to the palate (too light, in my opinion). My wife loves it though, so I think I will keep buying it for a while.

To much alcohol flavor for me, nice name and sticker

Lote: 002-21GS
Nose – Lab chemicals. Vanilla extract.

Palate – Stiff for 38% ABV. Industrial, metallic, artificial sweetener. Not great but hey… it’s $25 a bottle.

They shouldn’t even call this mezcal. Why is the CRM certifying this. I tried it for the first time, and i am not a fan.

Appalling mezcal. Mexicans mostly turn their noses down at this, especially at the current prices for it in the bars of Mexico City. Don’t waste your money.

Most of us who’ve been mezcal lovers for awhile will sneer a bit at this one. But the truth is I think it’s the perfect starter mezcal. Yes, it’s far too light at 38%–and there’s nothing particularly special about it. But it is a decent, basic Espadín with a hint of smoke. Start here; then be prepared for mezcales that will absolutely make your face shine! 🙂

Price point and would be a good one to start out on. Not bad, but not a lot of flavor to go wrong on.
Batch 00221BE046 40%

This is a very approachable mezcal, with a balance of vegetal, spice and smoke that should work nicely as a sipper or a mixer.

This is a great mixer mezcal when you are looking for a tamed smoke. There is nothing super exciting here but it also is not bad at all.

Nose: earthy, cabbage

Palate: barnyard, hay, medium mouthfeel, soil, earthy

Finish: cedar

It just falls a little flat but it is not meant to be a heavy hitter.

Very light, not very tasteful but smoky, nice for starters, the value for the price is very interesting.

As stated in the other reviews, very light and simple, with only some smokiness and a sweet aftertaste that made me think of BBQ. Some floral/fruity notes, but not much, although I could not tell what was from the mezcal and what came from the bartender’s hand lotion. Surprisingly viscous mouthfeel.

Inoffensive, and that’s probably the best I can say for it. Very thin, very watery, somewhat unsurprising given the low ABV. Aroma is somewhat floral with a hint of leather. There’s just no character to this at all. Not good as a sipper, fine as a mixer I suppose.

Smoke. Smoke. Then theres smoke. This is the 2and bottle of Mezcal I’ve purchased on my journey while taking a break from a very long tequila journey. The buzz on this is fantastic. But the flavor is smoky like scotch.

for the price point, it’s tough to beat. while I have not yet tried the reposado, I have tried the tobala – normally this is a no-brainer but in this instance, I’ll take the joven everyday. Super starter mezcal at a price point that cannot be beat – good to keep on hand for rookies, etc., or as a daily guzzler (unless you can afford $100+ bottles as a daily – and if so, lets be neighbors!)

Decent mezcal for a starter … one of the first mezcal I had. Been over 2 years ago

Agree with everyone else. Inoffensive is about as much as you can say, but there’s not much there in the way of mezcal.

At 38% the lightest mezcal I’ve ever tired. If you want flavor this isn’t it. This might be a good starter for someone who has never had mezcal.

Lote 020-18GS. Aromas of geraniums, fresh tomatillos, mildew, chalk, and sea salt. The palate is light and approachable. There are some green vegetal notes of dry green tea leaves, asparagus, and olives. There’s nothing in this that would be offensive or off putting. The ABV is too low for my liking, but others may enjoy that, especially if you’re accustomed to lower ABV tequila.

There’s no “spirit” in this spirit. Not offensive and not interesting. Not much agave. Lots of water with sweet tart vanilla/lemon. A 750ml bottle is about $23 USD in Mexico and I’ve only seen it in Mexico. Tried it at a hotel bar in Puerto Vallarta (they had this and Amores Espadin). This is probably more of a 1.5 stars given the low ABV could hinder its flavor profile in cocktails.
