Codigo 1530 Rosa Blanco Tequila

Código 1530 Rosa Blanco is the brand's most distinctive expression — the Blanco rested for one month in French white oak Napa Cabernet Sauvignon barrels, just long enough for the wine barrels to enrich the natural agave flavor with a delicate blush of berry and floral wine character while maintaining the elegant, pure agave notes of an unaged expression.

One month is a precise and deliberate resting period — enough time for the Cabernet barrel's character to contribute but not enough to classify as a reposado or for the wine influence to overwhelm the agave. The French white oak Napa Cabernet casks impart a subtle pink tinge to the crystal-clear blanco, producing the characteristic Rosa color that gives this expression its name. The result sits uniquely between unaged blanco and the fuller wine-barrel reposado: more complex and wine-influenced than the Blanco, lighter and more agave-forward than the Reposado.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Rosa Blanco differ from the Reposado?

Rosa Blanco rests one month in Napa Cabernet barrels — just enough for a delicate wine-barrel blush without reposado classification. The Reposado rests six months in the same barrel type, developing full caramel, vanilla, and cocoa complexity. Rosa is lighter, more floral, and more agave-forward; Reposado is richer and more wine-influenced.
