"Scorpion Mezcal Añejo 1 Year Old awarded Best Mezcal Spirit of the Year"
Ordinarily, the practice of siphoning various spirits into expensive crystal decanters seems just a bit twee. But some tweeness may be in order when it comes to this delicious mezcal, each bottle of which contains a real mummified scorpion. (Mezcal, which is similar to tequila but made from a different type of agave plant and older distillation methods, often contains a worm in the bottle.) You may not detect the scorpion flavor on the palate, unless you know what a scorpion is supposed to taste like. What you will experience is a fresh, nimble, nicely balanced spirit with a hint of melon flavor. And no sting at all. [full article]
