400 Conejos®, the #1 Mezcal in U.S. and Mexico*, carries ancient Mesoamerican traditions in every bottle. Agaves are carefully selected from Oaxaca, then cooked in traditional volcanic earth pit ovens. Oak or pine wood is lit and volcanic rocks are placed on top of it in a pyramid shape. The oven is covered with cloth and earth and the piñas are cooked for 3-5 days. Piñas are then milled using a horse-pulled stone and fermented with bagasse in an open-air wooden tub using wild ambient yeasts. The 100% agave spirit is double-distilled in small copper pot stills, heated by firewood, and then bottled to enjoy. Demineralized local spring water is used in the production process. Its authenticity and high-quality are clear in the well-balanced, smooth, woody, agave, smoky notes – the unique signature of premium mezcal. 400 Conejos is made at Palenque Crista La Santa in Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca.
