The Story
Añejo. Codigo 1530 — highland Jalisco añejo tequila matured in French white oak barrels and finished in the brand's signature Rosa wine barrels — French white oak previously used for rosé wine — adding delicate berry, floral, and light wine character to the añejo's oak and agave foundation.
The Rosa barrel finishing is Codigo 1530's house signature — French white oak ex-rosé wine casks that impart a more delicate, floral wine character than the Cabernet Sauvignon barrels used in the Origen. The añejo level presents this finishing at the category's most approachable age point: old enough for meaningful oak development, young enough to maintain vibrant agave freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the Rosa barrel finish? French white oak casks previously used to mature rosé wine, imparting delicate berry, floral, and light wine character. More subtle than the Cabernet Sauvignon barrels used in the Origen — the Rosa finishing adds wine complexity without the tannic structure of red wine barrel finishing.
- How does the Añejo compare to the Origen Extra Añejo in the Codigo 1530 lineup? The Añejo uses Rosa (rosé wine) finishing for delicate floral wine character. The Origen uses 5-year aging with Napa Cabernet finishing for deeper, more tannic complexity. The Añejo is the more accessible entry into Codigo 1530; the Origen is the apex.
