Each glass reveals layers of peppery spice and dried fruit, making it an ideal companion for grilled pork or the nutty complexity of aged cheese. The spirit’s signature smokiness lingers just long enough to invite another taste, perfectly capturing the heart and soul of traditional mezcal craftsmanship.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.
