Código 1530 Tequila is a premium tequila brand that originated in Amatitán, a town in the Jalisco region of Mexico. It is renowned for its high-quality, artisanal production methods and its commitment to crafting exceptional tequilas.

The name ‘Código 1530’ is inspired by the centuries-old codex that prescribes the exact method of tequila production in the Los Bajos region of Jalisco. This codex was introduced to preserve the integrity and quality of tequila production.

The production of Código 1530 Añejo begins with 100 per cent blue Weber agave, which is carefully selected and harvested at the peak of ripeness. The agave hearts, known as piñas, are cooked in traditional brick ovens to extract their flavours and sugars. After cooking, the agaves are crushed and the juice is fermented using a yeast strain developed by Código. During this fermentation process, the sugar is converted into alcohol, producing a flavourful liquid that eventually becomes tequila. After fermentation, the tequila is double-distilled in small copper stills, a process that helps to refine and concentrate the flavours. The Código 1530 Añejo is then aged for at least 18 months. During this time, it rests in French white oak casks previously used for Napa Valley Cabernet. This extended ageing allows the tequila to interact with the wood, gaining depth, complexity and rich flavours.
