Codigo 1530 Anejo Tequila

Código 1530 Añejo Tequila is made in Amatitán, Jalisco, by a local artisan distilling family, using Blue Weber agave from the Los Bajos area, where the water is filtered through volcanic soil. It is aged for 18 months in French white oak barrels that previously held Napa Valley Cabernet wine, a distinctive choice that gives the tequila its rich amber colour and subtle complexity.

The palate is refined, elegant and expressive, with hints of fruit mingled with oak, touches of vanilla and a little spice, all resting on a backbone of cooked agave. The long spell in wine barrels gives a smooth, layered tequila that rewards slow sipping. Código 1530 Añejo is best appreciated neat or on the rocks, where its depth and the influence of the Cabernet casks can be fully explored.
