Description

Código 1530 Barrel Strength Añejo is the house's añejo poured straight from the cask. It comes from a single NOM distillery in Amatitán, Jalisco, and is bottled at origin. Each batch ages two years in French white oak barrels that once held Napa Valley Cabernet. It is then bottled at 88 proof without being cut down. Like all Código tequilas, it has no added sugar, flavoring or coloring.

Nose the glass and toasted oak comes first. Caramelized vanilla and a little dark chocolate sit right behind it. On the palate those same notes grow richer. Sweet cooked agave holds the middle, with a bright touch of orange peel and green herbs. Even with the extra proof, it feels soft, with no throaty burn. The finish is smooth and delicate.

Judges noticed right away. At the 2023 TAG Golden Spirits Awards it earned a Platinum medal and Best in Show.

Give it time in a snifter or small tumbler. Drink it neat, or add one cube of ice if you want to tame the strength. It makes a serious añejo Old Fashioned too. Serve it with grilled meats, aged cheese or a dark chocolate dessert, or enjoy it alongside a good cigar.

If you like slow, full-flavored tequila that drinks like a fine whiskey, this is one worth saving for special nights. It is also a standout gift for any agave collector.
