400 Conejos Anejo Mezcal
400 Conejos Anejo Mezcal is an 80-proof (40% ABV) 750mL añejo mezcal made from 100% maguey Espadín and aged at least 12 months in American oak barrels — the wood-rested expression of the line that trade press reports is now the world's best-selling mezcal. Espadín is harvested at 8–10 years of maturity, cooked in traditional earth-pit (horno) ovens, milled by horse-drawn tahona, fermented in small sabino wood vats, and twice distilled in small copper pot stills under maestro mezcalero Don Tacho in Oaxaca. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The World's Favorite Mezcal, Rested in Oak
400 Conejos built its name on the Joven — but the Añejo is where traditional production meets barrel maturity: the same earth-pit, tahona, and copper-still Espadín, given a year-plus in American oak. That the line reports best-selling-mezcal status (Nielsen U.S. + IWSR global, per The Spirits Business, 2025) speaks to how approachable it stays even at cask-influenced depth. Note: no producer NOM is printed for this expression (mezcal is CRT-certified, not tequila-NOM) — the bottle label is the only authority.

Tasting Notes
Roasted agave and gentle smoke on the nose, with vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak from the añejo maturation; the palate balances earthy Espadín character with barrel sweetness, finishing warm and smooth with a whisper of smoke.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a copita or veladora glass to take in the oak-rested complexity. It also makes a luxurious Oaxaca Old Fashioned.
