CÓDIGO 1530® ANNOUNCES NEW CRISTALINO MADE FROM UNIQUE BLEND OF REPOSADO AND EXTRA AÑEJO TEQUILA

NEW YORK, Dec. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Código 1530, the additive-free tequila brand known for high quality and innovation within the tequila and mezcal industries, has just launched a Cristalino tequila: Código 1530 Cristalino Reposado. The new Cristalino consists of the brand's award-winning Reposado aged in French White Oak Cabernet wine barrels, blended with its sought after 6 year "Origen" Extra Añejo and finished in French Cognac casks.

"Since we are a single NOM distillery (NOM 1616) we had the freedom and resources to create a completely unique Cristalino unlike any other on the market. We had a lot of fun testing different blends and finishes before declaring the Reposado and Extra Añejo blend as the winner," said Federico Vaughan, Co-Founder and COO, Código 1530. "Our Cristalino measures up to the brand's high standards of ensuring the essence of tequila always shines through with an authentic flavor profile and personality."

Código 1530 Cristalino is a special blend that reveals layers of flavor and aroma, which standard charcoal filtration would typically remove to erase the amber-colored and sometimes bitter tannins from barrel aging. Not only is the charcoal filtration and oxygenation important for a soft finish, this Cristalino is made with both Código Reposado tequila and is completed with a dash of Código's 6 year aged Extra Añejo, named Origen. This intentional blending was done to strengthen the taste of tequila. It is a tribute to the passion and tradition of tequila making while emphasizing the importance of both heritage and innovation.

Upon first sip, taste buds awaken to aromas of rich vanilla and roasted hazelnuts, intertwined with elegance of agave yielding depth and warmth. Notes of cooked agave offer a delicate and balanced sweetness. Hints of caramel, vanilla, and hazelnut create complexity while light cocoa finishes the palate. Altogether a harmonious and elegant tasting experience.

Código 1530 Cristalino Reposado is available at retailers in the US for an SRP of $89.99, as well as select global markets*. Visit www.codigo1530.com to learn more.
