Scorpion Silver Mezcal
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 Silver is the joven of the line: freshly distilled, bottled without any aging at 40% ABV (80 proof), crystal clear, with a real Oaxacan scorpion in the bottom of every bottle and a tiny sombrero hanging from the neck, under the brand's long-running tagline "Worms are for wimps." The producer describes a dry bouquet of lime, citrus, cucumber, salt, and savory herbs, with warmer notes of char, creosote, a little spice, and a faint balsam underneath. Because the steam cooking keeps the smoke moderate, it is an approachable, mixable mezcal that works in a Margarita or Paloma as easily as it does neat.
