Doña Mariana
Codigo 1530 Barrel Strength Añejo
Codigo 1530 Barrel Strength Añejo is a high-proof tequila from NOM 1616 and NOM 1500. It features prominent French and Cabernet barrel influence with notes of caramel, vanilla, butterscotch, and cooked agave. The palate presents layers of baking spice, dark fruit, citrus, and pepper alongside a thick mouthfeel. Finish varies from long and lingering to dry with hints of leather, salinity, and smoke. Some find it bland while others praise its complexity. The spirit balances strong oak with subtle agave character and natural sweetness for a whiskey-like profile.
