Código 1530 - George Strait Rosa Reposado Tequila
Código 1530 Rosa Reposado Tequila, championed by country music legend George Strait, is a truly unique expression that defies traditional tequila norms. This exceptional tequila begins with Código's award-winning Blanco, which is then aged for one month in the finest Cabernet French oak barrels sourced from the Napa Valley. This brief but impactful maturation imparts a delicate pink hue and subtle wine characteristics, beautifully complementing the pure agave flavor without overpowering it. The result is an incredibly smooth, crisp, and refreshingly elegant reposado.
