Código 1530 Blanco Still Strength Estate Harvest Tequila Review
"Still Strength" blancos are becoming ever more prevalent, as enthusiasts have embraced their potent, concentrated profiles. Thankfully, producers have reacted accordingly. Arguably ahead of the trend, Código 1530 launched this complex 90-proof offering in late 2022. While it retails for roughly $25 more than the brand’s flagship blanco, it's well worth the extra cash. Fresh vegetal and umami flavors soar to new heights, offering a profile that places it a few notches above the lower-proof blanco expression.
