Producer Information: Scorpion Mezcal, S.A. de C.V.
Scorpion Mezcal, S.A. de C.V. was founded in 1996 by Douglas French in Oaxaca, Mexico, a region celebrated for its deep mezcal heritage and agave biodiversity. The company stands out for its artisanal approach, using traditional pit ovens and copper pot stills to craft small-batch mezcals that capture the terroir of Oaxaca’s valleys and mountains. Each bottle famously includes a real scorpion, reflecting both local tradition and a bold marketing twist rooted in regional folklore. Beyond their signature mezcal expressions made from Espadín and rare agave varietals like Tobalá and Barril, Scorpion Mezcal also produces limited-edition aged mezcals such as reposado and añejo styles matured in oak barrels sourced from the area. Their portfolio extends to other Oaxacan spirits including Tobala Reserva de la Casa and Sierra Norte Single Barrel Mexican Whiskey, which highlights native Oaxacan corn varieties for a distinctly local flavor profile that underscores their commitment to showcasing the agricultural diversity of southern Mexico.

Wine Enthusiast
This aged spirit has a light straw color, and an intriguing mix of smoky spice and caramel aromas. Allowed to sit, the caramel scent intensifies. The flavor starts as vaguely sweet and vanilla-like, with a soft feel on the tongue, then turns peppery, and finishes with anise and a strong alcohol bite. Despite two offputting scorpions at the bottom of the bottle, a sophisticated approach to mezcal.
