CÓDIGO 1530® UNVEILS 15-YEAR EXTRA AÑEJO, A RARE DOUBLE BARREL RELEASE

Limited to 350 bottles, the special expression is aged 15 years in French white oak
Cabernet barrels and finished for an additional six months in French Cognac casks

NEW YORK, July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Código 1530 is raising the bar for ultra-premium tequila with the debut of 15-Year Extra Añejo. This exceptionally rare release is limited to just 350 bottles worldwide. Aged far beyond industry norms for extra añejo tequilas, the latest expression highlights both the brand's commitment to traditional craftsmanship and a growing movement toward transparency and long-form aging in agave spirits, positioning it at the intersection of luxury collectability and masterful artistry.

Aged to taste, Código 1530 15-Year Extra Añejo is matured for 15 years in French white oak Cabernet barrels before spending an additional six months finishing in French Cognac casks. This double-barrel process brings remarkable structure, elegance and depth to the liquid while preserving the character and integrity that define Código 1530. Produced using centuries-old codes and customs inspired by the ancestors who cultivated the rich agave lands of Jalisco, the expression is crafted from naturally filtered local water, fully matured agave and time. The result is a tequila of extraordinary patience and presence, created for slow savoring and meaningful occasions.

In the glass, Código 1530 15-Year Extra Añejo reveals a deep red-amber hue. The nose opens with layered notes of toasted oak, buttery maple, rich vanilla and dark cacao, lifted by a subtle mineral edge. On the palate, the liquid is creamy and robust, balanced by notes of dry plum, gentle cinnamon and polished oak. A long, velvety finish carries lingering hints of tobacco, adding sophistication and lasting warmth.

"Our 15-Year Extra Añejo is a singular liquid and above all, a symbol of patience —fifteen years in Cabernet French Oak and Cognac casks, waiting for the moment it was truly ready," said Federico Vaughn, Código 1530 Tequila Co-founder. He added, "This is a tequila made for the connoisseur and the person who understands that the rarest things are never rushed. Some tequilas you drink; this one you remember."

Presented as a complete luxury experience, each individually numbered release includes one 750mL bottle of Código 1530 15-Year Extra Añejo, two crystal tasting glasses, a handcrafted crystal decanter with a gold-plated stopper, a bespoke presentation case, and a Certificate of Authenticity attesting to its provenance and rarity.

Código 1530 15-Year Extra Añejo is bottled at 40% ABV and will be available in limited quantities for a suggested retail price of $4,100 in the US and select retailers worldwide. For more info on the release, visit codigo1530.com.
