Código 1530 Reposado Tequila is a distinguished expression that harmoniously blends the purity of unaged tequila with the nuanced complexity imparted by careful aging. This reposado is meticulously crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave, harvested at peak maturity in the Los Bajos region of Jalisco, Mexico. The agave is cooked in stainless steel ovens and fermented using an organic family baker's yeast, ensuring a clean and authentic profile.
Aging Process: After distillation, the tequila is rested for six months in French White Oak Napa Valley Cabernet wine barrels. This unique aging process imparts subtle hints of many of the signature flavors found in whiskeys, resulting in a tequila that is both rich and refined.
