About additive-free premium tequila “Codigo 1530”

Amatitane’s “Codigo” Only one brand is produced at a distillery dedicated to 1530. It is made from 100% blue agave (Ryujiorchid) and features a natural flavor made using a traditional manufacturing method with no additives (no additives, sweeteners, fragrances, colorants, or chemicals). In order to make it more delicious and smooth on the palate, the raw material, agave, is harvested by hand at the perfect time when it is at its peak of ripeness. In addition, for aging, we use high-quality Napa Valley cabernet wine barrels (French oak) (*1) instead of the commonly used American whiskey barrels, resulting in a unique and delicate taste. In Japan, there are “Codigo 1530 Blanco”, which is unaged and has the rich flavor of carefully selected ripe agave, “Codigo 1530 Rosa”, which is aged for one month and has a faint pink hue and a light flower-like aroma, and “Codigo 1530”, which is aged for 6 months and has the purity of Blanco and the elegance of the aging process. We offer four items: “Reposado” and 6-year-aged “Codigo 1530 Origen,” which is praised by experts as “the most luxurious Extra Anejo Tequila (*2).” Both have won awards at numerous alcoholic beverage competitions and are highly praised for their taste. (*1) “Codigo 1530 Blanco” is unaged (*2) Extra Anejo Tequila: Tequila aged for over 36 months, the longest aging period of all tequila grades About premium craft gin “Kinomi Kyoto Dry Gin”
