Código 1530 Tequila Rosa

With no commercial pressure to ever bring this private tequila to market, a small group of Mexican families had heartily supported it. For several generations, a local Amatitán artisan and distilling family has passionately produced this spirit, never veering from the centuries old codes and customs – “Los Códigos” – that have made it the most selective tequila in the world.

For the first time, those who have enjoyed this private, previously nameless tequila are sharing with the world what is now known as Código 1530.

The tequila begins with fully-matured agave, which is cooked in stainless steel ovens, fermented utilizing local yeast and distilled twice in stills handmade by the distilling family themselves. Our Blanco is perfected over a lengthy, 15-day process.

We hand select the best, fully-matured agave, to ensure that with each harvest, our agave’s Brix level (sugar content) meets our high standards, for a better tasting, smooth tequila. We make each batch naturally, without any added sweeteners or colors. We pride ourselves in striving to make Código 1530 the most selective tequila in the world, using only perfect inputs and age old secret family processes. Each drop of Amatitán water we use is from freshwater pools and rainwater, filtered through the volcanic soil of Los Bajos.

Rested 1 Month
Código 1530 Rosa begins with the purity of the Blanco tequila, then is rested for 1 month in uncharred Napa Valley Cabernet French White Oak wine barrels. The result is a refined spirit with a natural color as beautiful as its taste. Codigo 1530 Rosa is rested just long enough in Napa Cabernet wine barrels to enrich the natural agave juice, without overpowering its delicate botanical balance.

Production Notes
Codigo 1530 sources only the finest Napa Cabernet French White Oak barrels to age their Rosa tequila.

Rosa barrels are left uncharred, allowing the Cabernet to interact directly with the tequila, imparting a subtle pink hue and light floral finish.
