Bottled at 43.1% ABV, it was awarded Silver at the 2022 New York World Wine \u0026amp; Spirits Competition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAncestral is the strictest category of mezcal production. The agave is cooked in the earth, mashed by hand with wooden mallets, fermented in an open leather vat and distilled in clay pots, with no modern equipment at any stage. Código 1530, known for its tequilas, entered the mezcal category with this release and an artesanal sibling, bringing its focus on craft to Oaxaca's oldest traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSweet and earthy on the nose, with honey and tobacco, it opens into clay-derived salinity, bright minerality, vanilla and cantaloupe, with melon and a touch of salty minerality on the palate. The finish is dry, with hazelnut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe clear bottle with its embossed Código cross is presented in a black tube illustrated with a mezcalero, making it a handsome gift for an agave enthusiast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it slowly from a copita to appreciate the clay-pot texture and mineral depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMezcal is made by roasting agave hearts, traditionally in earthen pits, then crushing, fermenting and distilling them, a process that gives the spirit its characteristic smoky depth. Each agave variety and each village brings its own character, which is why enthusiasts love exploring small-batch bottlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet and earthy, with honey and tobacco.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clay-derived salinity, minerality, vanilla and cantaloupe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry, with hazelnut.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Código 1530\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mezcal Ancestral, Joven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86.2 proof (43.1% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Papalomé (Agave potatorum); hand mashed, leather-vat fermented, clay pot distilled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oaxaca, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it from a copita at room temperature, with orange slices if you like.
