About Scorpion Mezcal Anejo 5Yr
Scorpion Mezcal Anejo 5 Year is a premium, limited-edition mezcal produced by Caballeros Inc. in Oaxaca, Mexico, crafted from 100% agave Espadin and double-distilled in copper. This award-winning spirit ages for five years in French oak barrels of less than 200 liters, resulting in a sophisticated, gold-amber expression that rivals aged tequilas in complexity. Each hand-numbered bottle features an extra-large scorpion exoskeleton, making it a distinctive collector's piece. The 5-year expression is notably more refined and understated than younger versions, offering a balanced profile with pronounced oak influence. It's ideal for discerning spirits enthusiasts and collectors who appreciate barrel-aged mezcal's depth and are willing to invest in a premium product.
Tasting Notes
👃 Nose
The aroma opens with briny, phenolic notes reminiscent of burnt match and furniture polish, followed by deeper scents of mesquite sap, onion, and quinine. Additional time in the glass reveals subtle floral and herbal undertones with hints of oak and char.
👅 Palate
The palate delivers layers of smoke, brine, and salt balanced with unexpected sweetness and a paradoxical bitter edge. Flavors of herbs de Provence, roasted agave, grilled pineapple, wildflower honey, and oiled leather emerge, with a slick, oily mouthfeel and defined viscosity that coats the mouth.
✨ Finish
The finish is long and smoky with lingering notes of bourbon-like char and a hint of leather. A slightly bitter, leafy quality provides complexity and prevents the finish from becoming cloying.
