Código 1530 Rosa Reposado Private Barrel Tequila

Product Description

Código 1530 Rosa Reposado Private Barrel: A Hand-Selected Take on Código's Signature Style

Código 1530 built its reputation on an unconventional approach to tequila aging: resting its spirits not in used bourbon barrels like most reposados, but in uncharred French white oak barrels that previously held Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. This Private Barrel release takes that signature Rosa expression a step further, an individually hand-selected barrel chosen for its exceptional character, giving it more depth and individuality than the standard release. Crafted in the heart of Jalisco, Mexico, from fully matured 100% Blue Weber agave, this is not a standard reposado; it's a wine-barrel-influenced tequila with the added distinction of private barrel selection.

Rested in Cabernet Sauvignon casks, Rosa develops its unmistakable blush pink hue along with delicate notes of red wine and florals that layer over the tequila's naturally bright agave character. Where most reposados lean on the vanilla and caramel notes typical of used whiskey barrels, Código's wine cask approach produces something lighter, more aromatic, and more nuanced, a genuine departure for drinkers who want something different from the standard reposado playbook. As one of only a handful of tequila brands using wine barrels as a primary aging vessel, Código has built a devoted following among both tequila purists and wine lovers curious about agave spirits.

Bottled additive-free and produced at a family-owned and operated distillery, this Private Barrel Rosa Reposado is a genuine collector's pick for fans of Código's signature style who want a more individualized, small-batch expression.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Delicate blush pink.

Aroma: Fruity and floral, with fresh agave, sweet Cabernet wine notes, white pepper, and a whisper of cedar.

Palate: Bright and rounded, with cooked agave, ripe red fruit like cherry and plum, vanilla, and subtle cinnamon and black pepper spice, carried by the smooth influence of the Cabernet barrel.

Finish: Clean and dry, with lingering fruit, gentle oak, and soft floral notes.

Food Pairings

Rosa Reposado's bright, wine-influenced profile pairs beautifully with fresh, elegant fare. Try it alongside grilled shrimp, a berry and goat cheese salad, or charcuterie with dried cherries, or lean into its floral sweetness with panna cotta or a light fruit tart.

Serving Suggestions

Código 1530 Rosa Reposado Private Barrel is best enjoyed neat or with a single large ice cube to appreciate its delicate wine-barrel character. It also shines in spirit-forward, elevated cocktails, try it in a Tequila Sour or a Rosa-forward twist on a Paloma, where its fruit and floral notes can really stand out.
