400 Conejos Joven Mezcal
Wild Highland Agave | Pit-Roasted | Crisp Smoke & Herbal Earthiness
Available now at Liquor Boutique
400 Conejos Joven Mezcal is a thoughtfully crafted expression made from wild-collected highland agave—primarily Espadín with complementing wild varieties—sourced from the diverse micro-terroirs of Oaxaca. After slow roasting in traditional underground wood-fired pits, the agave hearts are crushed using a tahona wheel, naturally fermented with native yeasts, and double-distilled in small copper stills. Bottled at approximately 42% ABV, this joven mezcal presents a refined yet vibrant spirit rooted in artisanal tradition.
