The worlds of tequila and music are coming together for this exciting new tequila release. It’s called Código 1530 “Cowboys and Dreamers” Special Edition Añejo and it’s a reference to the name of George Strait’s newest album which was released in September of 2024.

This special edition añejo tequila was matured for two years in Napa Valley-sourced French white oak barrels that previously held Cabernet wine at the brand’s private distillery in Amatitán, Jalisco, Mexico.

The result is a sublime, memorable 80-proof tequila without any added sugars, flavors, colors, adjuncts, or chemicals. According to the brand, this tequila is loaded with flavors like caramelized sugar, fresh figs, honey, toasted vanilla beans, and earthy spices. This isn’t your average celebrity-driven spirit. It’s nuanced, multi-layered, and deserves to be sipped neat on a cool evening. Perhaps while listening to George Strait’s new album?

Sadly, like with many limited-edition expressions, you can’t stroll into your local liquor store to grab a bottle of this noteworthy tequila. This soon-to-be sought-after collector’s edition is currently available for purchase on ReserveBar for the suggested retail price of $120 for a 750ml bottle.

If you didn’t know it already, September is Bourbon Heritage Month. It was officially declared in 2007 by the U.S. Senate after being sponsored by Kentucky Senator Jim Bunning. Each fall, it’s celebrated to pay homage to America’s “native spirit” and its historical value, and the importance of the bourbon industry.

In my alcohol writing career, I’ve enjoyed countless glasses of bourbon. And while I’ll definitely sip my fair share of bourbon in September, to truly get the most out of this important month, it’s a good idea to learn a little about the history of this truly American form of whiskey, along with the stories and legends surrounding it.

With autumn right around the corner, we’re starting to think about the inevitable cool evenings ahead. If you’re anything like us, this means that you’re going to start cracking open higher-proof whiskeys, rums, and tequilas. Lucky for you, the folks at Tequila Ocho are releasing the perfect tequila for sipping alongside your end-of-summer (or beginning of fall) campfire.
Tequila Ocho Barrel Proof Reposado

The original single estate tequila brand Tequila Ocho is set to release the newest high-proof expression from Master Tequilero Carlos Camarena. It’s called Tequila Ocho Barrel Proof Reposado, and while you’ll find most tequilas at your local liquor store are bottled at 80-proof, this tequila is bottled at a warming, potent 101-proof. Perfect for the cooler months, it will hit store shelves this summer and again during the holiday season.

If you didn't know it, tequila is much more than just that crystal-clear, sometimes harsh alcohol that you used to drink as a shot with lime and salt during your college days. It's a nuanced, complex spirit with various levels and types, each perfect for different uses and palate types.

I've written about alcohol for nearly two decades, and in that time, I've learned (and tasted) a lot about tequila. The major tip I always tell tequila newbies is to keep the blanco for cocktails and save the long-aged expressions for when their palates are a little more refined. If you're a beginner looking to start your tequila journey, there's no better choice than reposado.
