Scorpion Mezcal Anejo Arroqueno 7 Year
Scorpion Mezcal Añejo Arroqueño 7 Year is the wild-agave counterpart to Scorpion's 7-year line — a 42.6% ABV (85.2 proof) mezcal in a 750mL bottle, made from 100% wild Arroqueño agave and rested seven years in French oak. Arroqueño is a massive, slow-growing wild agave — distinct from the cultivated Espadín — and seven years in wood gives it a depth few mezcals reach. Produced in San Agustín de las Juntas, Oaxaca (NOM-019X) under founder Douglas French. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Wild Arroqueño, Seven Years Deep
Espadín is the workhorse of Oaxaca; Arroqueño is its wild, giant cousin — a feral agave that takes far longer to mature and gives a wilder, more complex spirit. Scorpion's 7 Year Arroqueño comes out of the same Old Town Tequila barrel-pick program as the Espadín 7 Year, rested the same seven years in French oak, and bottled for drinkers who want mezcal at its most extreme. If the Espadín 7 Year is polished, the Arroqueño is primal. Discover more mezcal and agave spirits or browse everything from Scorpion Mezcal at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Expect the 7-year French-oak signature — vanilla, toasted nuts, sweet oak — wrapped around a wilder agave core than the Espadín: earthier, more resinous, with the long, savory finish wild agaves are prized for.
How to Enjoy
Neat, slowly. Wild-agave extra añejo is among the rarest things in the spirits world — pour it for people who already love mezcal.
