Código 1530 Rosa Tequila

Loght, agave forward tequila turns spicy on the palate. Hints of sweetness and fruit surpeide you.

A complex, aged Blanco Tequila by the Codigo 1530 Distillery NOM 1616 in Amatitán, Mexico; rested for one month in French White Oak Napa Cabernet barrels. It has an aromatic birth with floral & vegetal notes; while a bold life adds notes of citrus, agave, hints of red fruits, dried cranberry, apple peel & green bell pepper; that leads to a dry & earthy death of medium length with a hint of salinity.

Nose - Pickles, Febreeze, flowers, sweet cereal grain, and light ethanol. Palate - Nutty, white grape, honeysuckle, sweet agave, green apple, and sweet pickles. Finish is medium-long with unripe fruits, toasted agave, and medium ethanol. Purchased a blind tequila blanco tasting kit from The Party Source on clearance for $13. This is the second one I've tried from the kit, and it's delightful. I thought the pink aspect might be a gimmick, but the one month in wine barrels really adds a lot. I would definitely consider purchasing a bottle in the future from this brand.

Extremely light, smooth, flower, great simple sipper

Purchased on a lark from Total wine. I looked at the reviews here first, and thought it might be worth a chance. I guess it sort of was. On the nose it's light and sweet. There is a bit of roast agave, slight ethanol, a bit of powdered sugar, and some berry notes from the wine. On the palate it's very light, slightly sweet, with a bit of fruitiness at mid palate and the slightest hint of white pepper on the fade. It's quite delicate In a tequila martini, this is completely squashed. It doesn't work. I wouldn't recommend this as a tequila for any kind of a cocktail as it seems to be a bit on the watery and light side. It has a pleasant enough flavor profile, and it's easy to drink neat. Put it on ice, or add another ingredient and it capitulates immediately. I assume this would be nice if I kept it in the freezer and offered icy little shots to friends around the pool on a hot day. And it doesn't completely fail when sipped neat from a grappa capita. But that doesn't make it worth the price of entry.
