400 Conejos Mezcal Cuishe - Item Code: 07470
Discover 400 Conejos Mezcal Cuishe:
400 Conejos Mezcal Cuishe is a spirit that embodies the rich tapestry of Oaxacan tradition, distilled from the wild agave Karwinskii, known locally as Cuishe. This particular agave species is renowned for its tall, slender profile and its propensity to grow in arid conditions on rocky slopes, which imparts a unique terroir to the mezcal.
Upon nosing this mezcal, one can expect an aromatic bouquet that weaves together hints of earthy minerals with a subtle undercurrent of citrus zest. The palate is greeted with a complex interplay of flavors; there’s a smoky character typical of traditional mezcals that’s deftly balanced by notes reminiscent of green chili and a touch of sweetness akin to ripe tropical fruits.
The production process adheres to time-honored methods where the Cuishe agave hearts are cooked in earthen pits lined with volcanic rock, acquiring their signature smokiness. Afterward, they are crushed using a tahona (a stone wheel), fermented naturally with airborne yeasts in open-air vats, and finally distilled in copper pot stills.

Mezcal is a traditional Mexican spirit made primarily from the agave plant, with EspadĂn being the most common variety used. This unique spirit is characterized by its distinct smoky flavor, which results from roasting agave hearts in earthen pits before distillation. Mezcal can be enjoyed in various forms: unaged (Joven), aged for at least two months (Reposado), or aged for a minimum of one year (Añejo), each offering different complexities and flavor profiles.
The aroma of mezcal often features earthy notes complemented by citrus, herbs, and sometimes floral or fruity undertones, creating a rich sensory experience. Its texture ranges from smooth to full-bodied depending on the aging process. Mezcal is versatile in cocktails, commonly used in drinks like the Mezcal Margarita and Oaxaca Old-Fashioned, but it is also appreciated neat or on the rocks to fully savor its intricate flavors.
