Codigo 1530 Artesanal Ensamble

Oaxaca

Codigo 1530 Artesanal Ensamble is a mezcal defined by aromas of tropical fruits, roasted agave, floral notes, and cut grass. The palate features a strong anise flavor that fades into agave and lingering smoke. This profile offers medium viscosity with earthy sweetness, yet it also carries a hint of bitterness on the long finish. Some perceive the profile as packed with complexity, while others identify a more generic character marked by alcohol heat and smoke. The sensory impression varies from solid depth to simple intensity, reflecting the diverse interpretations of this specific ensamble.
