Código 1530 Artesanal Mezcal 75cl
Brand: Código 1530 | Category: Mezcal | ABV: 42% | Origin: Oaxaca, Mexico | Vol.: 75cl

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Rustic and smoky, like charred wood on a cool evening, mingled with roasted agave and a soft trace of citrus peel.
Palate: Robust and earthy, revealing layers of ash, mineral, and grilled pineapple, wrapped in a mouth-coating texture that feels both primal and refined.
Finish: Lingering and dry, with smoky warmth tapering off into subtle sweetness and a faint echo of spice.

Production Details:
Crafted using traditional underground earthen ovens, wild agave is slow-roasted for days before being crushed by hand and open-air fermented. The spirit is then double-distilled in copper stills to preserve its raw, smoky identity. No additives. No shortcuts. Just pure, artisanal mezcal.

Perfect For:
Slow sipping under starlight, paired with thoughtful conversation and salt-rimmed glasses. It’s the drink for those who appreciate the edge of the wild, campfires, desert air, and stories that linger longer than the last pour.

Expert Notes:
Código is more known for its tequila, but this mezcal showcases the brand’s commitment to authenticity and quality. A fine example of how tradition, when honored, can still surprise even seasoned spirits lovers.

Customer Reviews:
“Bold without being harsh, this is mezcal with a soul.”
“I brought it to a BBQ and ended up hiding the bottle. Too good to share.”
“Perfect balance of smoke and sweetness. Makes tequila feel like the warm-up act.”

Interesting Fact:
Código 1530 ages some of its agave for over a decade before harvest, ensuring intense flavor and sugar content, even for their mezcal, which is usually made from wild agave Espadín.

Serving Suggestions:
Best enjoyed neat in a copita or clay cup. For a brighter twist, pair with orange slices dusted in sal de gusano (worm salt). Want to mellow the smoke? A single ice cube opens up its softer citrus notes.

Distillery Background:
Código 1530 operates with deep respect for time, terroir, and tradition. Originally kept private for generations in Jalisco, their spirits only recently became available to the public. This mezcal, though crafted in Oaxaca, follows the same philosophy: make it slow, make it honest, and let the land speak for itself.
