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.

This 142.7-proof blend was distilled in Canada and features whiskeys from 20 to 30 years old. After the initial maturation, it was blended in Kentucky before it was aged again in a combination of Spanish brandy and Hungarian oak casks.

Part of its 117 Series of whiskeys, Old Forester 1910 Extra Extra Old gets its name because, after its initial maturation, this double-barreled bourbon is matured for an extra 24 months in a heavily charred secondary oak barrel. First released in spring 2021, this expression was originally an experimental whiskey made by aging 1910 Old Fine Whisky for an extra finishing period. The distillers liked the results enough to bottle it, and, clearly, so did Old Forester drinkers.
