Código 1530 Blanco is an unrested 100% agave tequila from Amatitán, Jalisco, bottled at 40% ABV in a 375ml bottle.
It is the expression that best reflects the pure taste of perfect inputs: Código 1530 sources only the best ingredients to make a spirit that requires no resting.
It never touches a barrel, so the character comes entirely from the agave, the distillation and the water of Amatitán, filtered through the region's volcanic soil.
Expect earthy, herbaceous agave with subtle mint, fresh-cut grass and spring flowers.
Its frosted bottle with the embossed Código cross makes even this half-size bottle a handsome gift.
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.
