400 Conejos - Joven Espadín Mezcal
400 Conejos Mezcal, whose name pays homage to the Aztec belief in 400 rabbits (Centzon Totochtin) linked to the consumption of agave spirits, offers an authentic and accessible entry into the world of mezcal. Crafted from 100% Espadín agave, traditionally roasted in conical earthen ovens, crushed by tahona, and double-distilled, this mezcal embodies the rich heritage of Oaxaca. It's a versatile and inviting spirit, balancing the signature smokiness with bright agave notes, making it excellent for both sipping and crafting cocktails.
