Process & Profile
Produced in Amatitán, Jalisco, this limited-edition añejo is crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave and aged for two years in hand-charred French white oak Napa Cabernet wine barrels. Unlike many tequilas aged in ex-bourbon barrels, Código uses premium wine barrels that contribute softer tannins, dark fruit nuances, and elegant oak integration while preserving agave character. (Old Town Tequila)
Código 1530 follows a traditional additive-free approach with no added sugars, flavorings, coloring, or chemicals. The tequila is aged “to taste rather than time,” reflecting the brand’s emphasis on traditional tequila-making practices and artisanal barrel maturation. (Old Town Tequila)

Brand Story
Código 1530 was founded around a centuries-old private tequila recipe once reserved for the families and jimadors of Los Bajos, Jalisco. Known for its additive-free philosophy and use of Napa Cabernet French oak barrels, the brand has built a reputation for rich, refined tequila expressions that emphasize authenticity, craftsmanship, and elegant barrel aging. George Strait joined the company as an investor and collaborator, helping bring the traditionally private tequila to a wider audience while maintaining its artisanal roots.
