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?
