400 Conejos Espadín Cuishe is an artisanal joven mezcal from Oaxaca made with Espadín and Cuishe agave, bottled at 80 proof.
The brand's spec sheet says the agaves come from Tlacolula and Miahuatlán and are cooked in volcanic earth pit ovens, then double distilled in copper pot stills.
Cuishe (Karwinskii) is described as more herbaceous, citrusy and earthy than Espadín.
