Código 1530, Mexico’s ultra-premium tequila, makes its long-awaited South African debut this month, bringing elegance, craftsmanship, and a splash of sophistication to the local spirits market.
Celebrated globally for its exceptional quality and artisanal heritage, Código 1530 is crafted in Jalisco, Mexico, the birthplace of tequila. Known for its purity and additive-free production, this award-winning tequila has earned a loyal following among discerning spirits enthusiasts.
Código 1530 Tequila Marketing Activation Manager, Nastasje Cerbone, says, “Quality is at the heart of Código 1530. Rooted in a century-old family recipe, this tequila was privately crafted for over 100 years before entering commercial production in 2016. Today, it remains true to its heritage—made from 100% blue Weber agave and aged in Napa Valley Cabernet French white-oak barrels for a smooth, refined character.”
Código 1530 Tequila is now available in South Africa in the following variants:
● Blanco (unrested): Bright, clean, and pure; showcasing the natural sweetness of agave with a crisp finish
● Rosa (aged 1 month): Light, floral, and subtly pink; perfect for those who enjoy a crisp, rosé-inspired serve
● Reposado (aged 6 months): Smooth and full-bodied with notes of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak
● Añejo (aged 18 months): Deep, rich, and complex; ideal for sipping neat or on the rocks
This exceptional tequila has been garlanded with international awards such as Double Gold for its Añejo expression at the 2023 Tag Global Spirits Awards and 2022 SIP Awards; and Tequila Producer of the Year and a Gold Medal for its Blanco expression at the 2019 Bartender Spirits Awards and 2016 San Francisco Spirits Competition.
“Código 1530 is more than just tequila—it’s a lifestyle rooted in authenticity, elegance, and craftsmanship. We’re thrilled to bring this exceptional spirit to South Africa, giving consumers the opportunity to experience one of Mexico’s finest traditions,” adds Cerbone.
For those looking for a luxury tequila that epitomises quality and sublime craftsmanship to add spice to their year-end celebrations, it is now available at stockists of fine spirits nationwide.
