Codigo 1530 Blanco Tequila

Código 1530 Blanco is the terroir baseline of the Código 1530 lineup — an unrested highland tequila distilled from fully mature Blue Weber agave aged over seven years in the volcanic Los Bajos lowlands of Amatitán, Jalisco, using organic yeast from a small local family bakery, with no additives, sweeteners, flavoring, coloring, or chemicals added at any stage of production.

The Código 1530 production philosophy starts with the agave itself: seven-plus years to full maturity, harvested from volcanic Los Bajos soil where freshwater from volcanic pools and rainfall filters through mineral-rich earth to create the specific terroir character that defines the house style. A proprietary chopper extracts only first-press juice and pulp — no second press dilution — and organic yeast from a local Amatitán bakery drives a fermentation with natural character rather than industrial consistency. The Blanco is recommended as the purest expression of this terroir: unaged, untreated, and honest. The brand name references 1530, the year King Charles I of Spain granted the first tequila production license in Jalisco.
