Verdict
Scorpion's reposado is a serviceable rested espadín built for bar use – Doug French makes it honestly within the 40% constraint. Sits near the Sacrificio reposado in register but cleaner. Consensus 3.5 is a half-step generous; we score it 3.0. Functional.
A reposado that works best submerged in a cocktail
Tasting notes
Nose: Light vanilla walks in first. Then cooked agave, soft wood
Palate: 40% and a short rest – the barrel adds warmth without burying the agave. Clean, smooth, slight
Finish: Sweet, mild wood
The bottom line
Buy for Manhattans and Old Fashioneds; pass for sipping
