Two Years in Oak, One Scorpion in the Bottle
Scorpion's añejos age the way fine cognac does — slowly, in small oak barrels — and the 2-year expression is the brand's most patient pour: dry and sweet at once, resinous and smoky, mellowed by oak into something remarkably smooth. The scorpion in the bottle (stinger removed, harmless) is theater with a purpose — it marks one of the category's most recognizable and awarded labels.

Tasting Notes
Dark amber in the glass. Dry and sweet simultaneously — lime, leather, oil, and smoke with a suggestion of mint; resinous on the tongue. It moves down the throat gently for 80 proof, leaving a smoky, spicy aftertaste with tobacco notes.
How to Enjoy
Neat, in a copita or small tasting glass — this is a sipping mezcal, not a mixing one. The bottle (scorpion and sombrero included) makes it a standout gift.
