Codigo 1530 Reposado Tequila (75cl, 40%)

Codigo 1530 Reposado is a reposado tequila from Amatitán, in the Los Bajos lowlands of Jalisco, Mexico. It is made from 100% fully matured blue Weber agave and rested for six months in French white oak barrels that previously held Napa Valley Cabernet. It is bottled at 40% ABV in a 750ml bottle and is additive-free. Codigo 1530 grew out of the private tequila shared by Amatitán families under "los códigos" for generations and was launched publicly in 2016. The nose brings cooked agave, vanilla and a touch of pepper; the palate has oak and caramel over the agave core in a smooth body; and the finish is balanced and warm, with vanilla and wine-barrel fruit fading gently.
