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.

Cathead Distillery

If you don't know about Cathead Distillery, it's the first legal distillery in Mississippi since statewide prohibition in 1907. Founded in 2010 in downtown Jackson, it's well-known for its award-winning, small-batch spirits, including Bristow Gin, Cathead Vodka, and the popular Old Soul Whiskey. Recently, the brand announced the launch of an exciting new whiskey expression: a straight wheat whiskey.
Old Soul Estate Collection Straight Wheat Whiskey

It's called Old Soul Estate Collection Straight Wheat Whiskey, and it's made with a mash bill of 100% wheat. This grain-to-glass whiskey features wheat grown in Mississippi. On top of that, the distillation, aging, and even bottling was all done in the southern state. This limited-release small batch whiskey isn't just an exceptional expression. It's the first of this type of whiskey to be distributed to other states.

Mezcal isn’t just smoky tequila — and other myths debunked
It's to debunk the biggest mezcal myths
Mezcal

While tequila has been popular forever, mezcal has only found its time in the proverbial sun in the last few decades. It all started in the early aughts when social media and celebrity brands began to hit the market. It's still gaining in popularity thanks to the rise of cocktail culture and drinkers' enthusiasm for traditional and artisanal spirits.

Like with all spirits, I didn't fully understand mezcal right away. It took time (and sampling of many mezcals) to learn the ins and outs of this agave-based spirit. I also learned that, like all spirits, it's not without its myths and misconceptions.
