What is Código US?
Código 1530 operates as a high-end producer of artisanal spirits, rooted in a private, multi-generational recipe from Amatitán, Jalisco. The company distinguishes itself through a rigorous adherence to traditional production methods, eschewing synthetic additives, flavorings, and sweeteners in favor of time-honored distillation techniques. Its portfolio, which spans five core tequila expressions and two mezcal offerings, is uniquely characterized by an aging process in French Oak Cabernet wine barrels sourced from Napa Valley. This commitment to quality and heritage has allowed the brand to transition from a niche, family-guarded secret to a globally recognized premium spirits label, effectively capturing market share among discerning consumers who prioritize authenticity and craftsmanship in their beverage choices.
