The first sip of Scorpion Mezcal Añejo 1Yr wraps you in a smoky embrace, unfolding layers of roasted agave, caramelized oak, and a subtle hint of dried fruit that lingers on the palate.

Producer Information: Scorpion Mezcal
Scorpion Mezcal hails from Oaxaca, Mexico, a region celebrated for its deep mezcal heritage and agave-rich landscapes. Founded in 1996 by Douglas French, Scorpion Mezcal stands out for its artisanal approach, using traditional methods such as roasting agave hearts in earthen pits and double-distilling in small copper stills. Each bottle is distinguished by the inclusion of a real scorpion, reflecting both local custom and the brand’s adventurous spirit. Beyond their core mezcal offerings, Scorpion also produces Espadín Reposado and Añejo expressions that highlight nuanced aging techniques unique to Oaxacan terroir. Their portfolio extends to other agave spirits like Sierra Norte Single Barrel Mexican Whiskey, which leverages native Oaxacan corn varieties to create distinctive regional character within the whiskey category.

Tequila is a distilled spirit made primarily from the blue agave plant (Agave tequilana), predominantly produced in the Jalisco region of Mexico, along with some areas in Guanajuato, Michoacán, Nayarit, and Tamaulipas. This unique spirit undergoes a meticulous distillation process, typically involving double distillation in pot stills or column stills. Tequila is categorized into several types based on its aging process: Blanco (unaged or aged less than 2 months), Reposado (aged between 2 months and 1 year), Añejo (aged between 1 and 3 years), and Extra Añejo (aged over 3 years). Each type offers distinct flavor profiles ranging from fresh and herbal to rich and complex.
The flavor and aroma of tequila vary significantly across its categories. Blanco tequilas are known for their crisp texture with fresh citrus notes, peppery hints, and agave sweetness. Reposado tequilas present a softer profile with vanilla and caramel undertones derived from oak aging. Añejo varieties boast richer flavors such as chocolate, coffee, and dried fruit alongside pronounced oak influence. Extra Añejo tequilas deliver complex layers of deep wood characteristics combined with smoothness. Tequila is versatile in cocktails; it serves as the base for popular drinks like Margaritas, Tequila Sunrises, Palomas, and various craft cocktails that highlight agave spirits.
