Their story

Código 1530 is made in Amatitán, in the heart of Jalisco's tequila country. The brand says the recipe was produced privately by local families for over a century before it was ever sold.

A group including former Crocs CEO Ron Snyder, Federico Vaughan, football coach Mike Shanahan and hockey player Brett Hull brought it to market in 2016, with country singer George Strait among the investors.

How it's made

Código uses rainwater filtered through volcanic rock and yeast sourced from a local Amatitán bakery, and adds no artificial additives or sweeteners. The Rosa is a blanco rested for about a month in uncharred French oak barrels that once held Napa Cabernet, which gives it a pale pink color and soft berry notes.

Why we carry them

We reach for Código when someone wants a clean, additive-free tequila. The Rosa is a fun conversation starter and good on its own over ice.
