Código 1530 Reposado Tequila

Código 1530 Reposado Tequila marries bright lowland agave with elegant barrel nuance. Crafted in Amatitán from fully mature Blue Weber agave, it’s twice distilled and rested six months in French white oak Napa Valley Cabernet barrels. The result is a clean, polished reposado where ripe agave sweetness meets vanilla, toasted caramel and a whisper of cocoa—silky enough to sip neat, versatile enough to elevate classic cocktails, and beautifully suited to gifting.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Fresh agave and citrus lift on the nose with vanilla and light oak. The palate is smooth and sweetly balanced—cooked agave, toasted caramel, soft cocoa and a touch of spice. A gently smoky, ultra-smooth finish lingers with warm oak and vanilla.

For seasonal flair, a Pumpkin Spice Margarita toasts cool nights with cinnamon and citrus.

Craftsmanship & Story

Rooted in a once-private “El Tequila Privado” recipe, Código 1530 begins with ripe Los Bajos agaves, cooked in stainless-steel ovens and fermented with an organic family baker’s yeast before double distillation. Reposado rests six months in ex–Napa Cabernet French oak—barrels charred by hand—uniting pure agave with subtle whiskey-like undertones and honouring Amatitán’s old-world códigos.
