400 Conejos Espadín-Tobalá Mezcal

As an additive-free mezcal from Oaxaca, 400 Conejos Espadín-Tobalá offers a straightforward introduction to the category in a generous 1.75 L size. Espadín agave gives the expression its foundation, while roasted agave and citrus keep the profile easy to understand. Nothing here needs dressing up: the flavors are direct, familiar, and suited to relaxed pours.

Smoke is central to mezcal, developing as the agave is roasted in underground pits. Here, it settles alongside earthy notes rather than overwhelming them. A gentle sweetness softens the finish and keeps the spirit approachable. The larger size is practical when one standard bottle may not be enough, while the additive-free character lets the agave-focused profile speak plainly.
