Scorpion Mezcal Anejo 1 Year
Scorpion Mezcal is the brand of Doug French, an American raised in Oaxaca as a diplomat's son who apprenticed under third-generation mezcalero Don Lupe and has sold his mezcal in the United States since 1996 under NOM O19X. At his palenque outside Oaxaca City, espadín (Agave angustifolia) hearts are steam-cooked in stainless tanks for over two days, shredded and pressed, fermented five to fifteen days, and double distilled in copper. The Añejo 1 Year then goes into French oak barrels of less than 200 liters, stacked across four levels of the brand's warehouse, for a full year before bottling at 40% ABV (80 proof) with the signature scorpion in the bottle. Food & Wine named this one-year añejo its spirit of the year in 2003, which is largely what put Scorpion on the map. The producer describes light lime, cucumber, sea salt, and herbal aromas with a hint of melon, a firm and slightly oily texture, and a slightly bitter, leafy finish, with the year in small barrels adding vanilla and barrel spice around the smoke. It sips neat and makes a good mezcal Manhattan.
