400 Conejos Joven Mezcal Artesanal (75cl, 40%)

400 Conejos Joven is an artisanal mezcal from Tlacolula in Oaxaca, Mexico, made from 100% Espadín agave and bottled at 40% abv in a 75cl bottle. The agave is cooked in a cone-shaped wood oven and milled with a stone pulled by horse. Fermentation takes place in wooden tubs, and the spirit is distilled in copper pot stills. The nose is smoky agave with subtle floral notes and a touch of citrus zest. On the palate it is smooth and smoky, with agave, roasted fruit and earthy undertones. It can be sipped neat or used in cocktails such as a Mezcal Margarita or an Oaxaca Old Fashioned.
