Pierde Almas Mezcal
Codigo 1530 Ancestral Papalomé
Codigo 1530 Ancestral Papalomé is a Joven mezcal made from Agave potatorum and fermented in rawhide. The process imparts distinct notes of leather, tobacco, brine, and sweet earth with a light smoke. Although the bottle identifies the species as potatorum, some observers note flavor profiles often associated with Cupreata. The spirit is described as pleasant after aging, despite its low alcohol by volume. It remains a notable example of traditional production methods within the Pernod Ricard portfolio, offering a unique sensory profile derived from its specific fermentation vessel.

This cross sits atop the Jalisco Coat of Arms and dates back to 1530 when Amatitán was recognized as a city of New Galicia; Jalisco was given a coat of arms by the Spanish monarchy. In 2022, French firm Pernod Ricard agreed to acquire a majority stake in Código 1530 for an undisclosed sum.
