400 Conejos Espadín Tobalá Mezcal is an artfully crafted expression that marries the sweet complexity of Espadín with the wild, herbal depth of Tobalá. The result is a compelling, medium-bodied mezcal that delivers floral nuance, earthy richness, and subtle smoke — a standout for both aficionados and curious palates seeking terroir-driven depth in artisanal mezcal.

Origins & Craftsmanship

This mezcal is produced in Oaxaca, Mexico — the epicenter of traditional mezcal distillation — by 400 Conejos, a brand rooted in craftsmanship and reverence for agave biodiversity. The bottling combines:

• Espadín (Agave angustifolia): Cultivated and versatile, known for balanced sweetness and structural clarity.

• Tobalá (Agave potatorum): A wild, small-cluster agave native to high elevations, prized for floral intensity, herbal complexity, and refined texture.

Agaves are harvested at mature ripeness, slow-cooked in underground pits, and fermented using native yeasts. Double distillation in copper or clay pot stills preserves the integrity of the mezcal while capturing both smoky and vegetal dimensions.

The interplay between Espadín’s foundational sweetness and Tobalá’s aromatic breadth creates a mezcal that is layered, expressive, and richly textured — a testament to thoughtful blending and artisanal technique.
