400 Conejos Anejo

35% ABV. Let's start there

Score: 1.5/5 agaves

400 Conejos Anejo bottle

  • Agave: Espadin
  • ABV: 35%

Verdict

35% and aged. The NOM allows it; the category should refuse it. 400 Conejos is a Pernod Ricard bottle, which tells you everything about the economics shaping the decisions – the aging is a marketing SKU, not a spirit argument. The 3.0

Thirty-five percent ABV is a commercial product, not a spirit

Tasting notes

Nose: Confected vanilla. Then faint smoke, alcoholic

Palate: Diluted and sweet – the añejo marketing on a bottle that shouldn't have been aged

Finish: Short, hot, sugar
