About Codigo 1530 Tequila Barrel Strength Anejo
Código 1530 Barrel Strength Añejo is a premium Mexican tequila aged for over 2 years in Napa Valley Cabernet French White Oak barrels, bottled at its natural barrel strength of 44% ABV without dilution. This single-distillery expression from NOM 1616 in Amatitán, Jalisco, is crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave with no additives, making it one of the smoothest barrel-strength añejos available. It appeals to serious tequila enthusiasts and collectors seeking complexity and authenticity. Compared to standard 40% ABV añejos, the higher proof delivers more pronounced oak influence and spice while maintaining remarkable smoothness, positioning it as a premium alternative to mass-market barrel-strength competitors.
