The 400 Conejos Mezcal Variety Pack Espadín, Cuishe & Tobalá (3 × 200 ml) is a compact tasting collection that showcases three distinctive expressions of Oaxacan mezcal. Each bottle highlights a different agave profile—cultivated Espadín, wild Cuishe, and the prized Tobalá—offering a fascinating range of smoky, herbal, and floral flavors. Designed for discovery and sharing, this artisanal mezcal trio is an ideal introduction to Mexico’s most expressive agave spirit.
Origins & Craftsmanship
400 Conejos Mezcal is produced in Oaxaca, Mexico, the heartland of traditional mezcal production and the source of the majority of the world’s mezcal. The brand draws inspiration from ancient Mesoamerican mythology in which the “400 rabbits” symbolize the many spirits of agave and the varied expressions of mezcal itself.
Mezcal production follows traditional methods that begin with harvesting mature agave plants, roasting the piñas in underground pits, fermenting the cooked agave, and distilling the spirit to create the characteristic smoky flavor that defines mezcal.
This Variety Pack includes three 200 ml bottles:
• Espadín Mezcal
Made from Agave angustifolia (Espadín), the most widely cultivated agave for mezcal. Espadín delivers balanced smokiness, gentle sweetness, and approachable structure.
• Espadín–Cuishe Mezcal
A blend of Espadín and Cuishe agave, which adds floral, herbal complexity and subtle earthy notes to the classic mezcal profile.
• Espadín–Tobalá Mezcal
Combines Espadín with the rarer Tobalá agave, prized for its aromatic intensity. The result is a softer, more floral mezcal with citrus and orange blossom nuances.
Each expression in the pack is bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) and presented as a joven (unaged) mezcal, preserving the pure flavors of roasted agave and the terroir of Oaxaca.
The three-bottle format allows drinkers to experience the dramatic influence that different agave varieties have on mezcal flavor.
