Fans of long-aged, rare tequila have a new expression to add to their home bar this summer. Código 1530, known for its ultra-premium expressions, is releasing an extremely limited 15-year-old Extra Añejo tequila.
Código 1530 15-Year Extra Añejo
If you’re looking to add a mature, sipping tequila to your collection, Código 1530 has you covered with its newest expression. Limited to only 350 bottles worldwide, Código 1530 15-Year Extra Añejo begins with naturally filtered water and fully mature Blue Weber agave. After distillation, it’s matured for 15 years in French white oak Cabernet barrels, then finished for 6 months in French Cognac casks. The result is a multi-layered, memorable tequila that deserves to be sipped neat like your favorite single malt Scotch whisky or bourbon.
Since this is a rare tequila, the packaging is almost as impressive and elegant as the spirit inside. Instead of simply being packaged as a bottle of tequila, it features a 750ml bottle of Código 1530 15-Year Extra Añejo, two crystal tasting glasses, a handcrafted crystal decanter with a gold-plated stopper, a bespoke presentation case, and a Certificate of Authenticity. This is truly a unique, collectible tequila worthy serious spirits drinkers will want to acquire.
According to Código 1530, this limited-edition expression is bottled at 80 proof and opens with aromas of toasted oak, maple candy, toasted vanilla beans, dark chocolate, and a hint of minerality. Sipping it reveals a velvety-smooth, creamy mouthfeel loaded with flavors of dry plum, cinnamon candy, and charred oak. The finish is long, warm, and smooth, ending with notes of pipe tobacco and oak.
“Our 15-Year Extra Añejo is a singular liquid and, above all, a symbol of patience —fifteen years in Cabernet French Oak and Cognac casks, waiting for the moment it was truly ready,” Federico Vaughn, Código 1530 Tequila co-founder, says.
“This is a tequila made for the connoisseur and the person who understands that the rarest things are never rushed. Some tequilas you drink; this one you remember.”

Código 1530 15-Year Extra Añejo is available in limited quantities at select US spirits retailers for the suggested retail price of $4,100 for a 750ml bottle. For more info on this release and all of the brand’s other expressions, visit codigo1530.com.
