Conejo Salvaje Blanco

Conejo Salvaje Blanco is a 40% ABV tequila produced at Tequila Las Américas (NOM 1480) in Amatitán, in the Tequila Valley. The distillery currently produces nearly 40 brands, but this bottle has a few details that help it stand apart.

It is made with single-estate organic Blue Weber agave and carries both USDA Organic and kosher certifications. The bottle is also hard to miss, with a minimalist white finish, bright red accents, and an ornate rabbit illustration across the front.

Brand information is sparse for this newcomer, but the production details suggest a somewhat traditional approach, including brick-oven cooking and open-air fermentation.

Nose: Cooked agave, olive brine, green pepper, and faint nutmeg.

Taste: Closely follows the nose, with cooked agave, olive brine, green pepper, and light floral notes.

Finish: Slightly bitter, with lingering olive, green pepper, and soft floral notes.

The mouthfeel is fairly light, and the overall profile stays green, briny, and somewhat restrained. There are enjoyable agave-driven flavors here, but it never develops much depth or weight on the palate.

At its price point, I would have a hard time recommending it over some less-expensive blancos. That said, drinkers who enjoy a lighter, savory profile—or who place extra value on organic and kosher certifications—may find that Conejo Salvaje checks the right boxes.
