Expert Description

Codigo 1530 Blanco is a Mexican Blanco Tequila from Jalisco, bottled at 38%.

Codigo 1530 was founded in 2016 by former Crocs CEO Ron Snyder together with Federico Vaughan, with country singer George Strait joining as co-founder and investor. The tequila is distilled at Varo Destileria (NOM 1616) in Amatitan in the Los Bajos region of Jalisco, where the Perez Ocampo family has produced a private recipe known as "El Tequila Privado" for generations. Codigo 1530 Blanco is made exclusively from fully mature lowland agave, harvested after at least 7 years and hand-selected for its high sugar content. The agave is cooked in stainless steel ovens, fermented with local yeast and double-distilled in handmade stills, then bottled immediately after distillation with no resting in barrels. No added colour, sweeteners or flavouring.
