Código 1530 Blanco Still Strength Estate Harvest is a certified additive-free tequila made with agave harvested at peak maturity and ripeness from Código 1530's own fields, bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV).
The agave is slowly cooked, then uniquely fermented in small batches using Napa Valley Cabernet wine barrels procured from fine French oak coopers, before distilling at Código 1530's own dedicated tequila distillery. Only fully matured Blue Weber agave is used, with Amatitán water from freshwater pools and rainwater filtered through the volcanic soil of Los Bajos, and a proprietary chopper extracts only the best juice and pulp from the first press.
Aromas whisper of cherry blossom, maple and vanilla. The barrel fermentation gives a soft palate, fresh and balanced and buttery, with notes of nutty pumpkin seed, clove and rosemary mint, in a full-bodied spirit with palate permanence.
Made with no added chemicals, flavourings or sweeteners, it was awarded Double Gold at the TAG Global Spirits Awards, a fine gift for tequila lovers.
Enjoy it neat or in a margarita or Negroni.
Blanco tequila is bottled unaged or rested for less than two months, so it shows the agave at its purest: bright, peppery and fresh. It is the classic choice for margaritas and palomas, and a good blanco is just as rewarding sipped neat.
Tequila can only be made from blue Weber agave in five designated Mexican states, chiefly Jalisco, and the finest bottlings are made from 100% agave. Sipping tequila is best enjoyed from a narrow-rimmed glass that concentrates the aromas, at room temperature and without salt or lime, so the character of the agave and the barrel can come through.
