Tasting Notes and Characteristics: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. Crafted in Mexico and aged for one year, this mezcal achieves a harmonious balance between earthy depth and refined sweetness, with an alcohol by volume of 40.00%. Its bold character stands up beautifully to grilled steak or the sharp tang of aged cheddar, making every bite and sip an experience worth savoring.Producer Information: Scorpion MezcalScorpion 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.
