Código 1530, the first brand to produce Tequila Rosa-Blanco, a naturally pink hued tequila derived from resting their pure Blanco expression in the finest French white oak Napa Valley Cabernet wine barrels for one month, released a Special Edition Double Barrel: Rosa-Reposado Tequila with country music legend George Strait. Strait is an active partner in Código 1530.
“I was curious to further age our popular Tequila Rosa-Blanco until it graduated into the Reposado category, without charring the barrels first as we normally would for our Reposado,” Strait says. The lack of charred barrel influence allows the agave to shine through. To complete this expression, it is finished in Spanish Sherry casks to add an unmatched sweetness. The flavor was too unique to not bottle it. The Double Barrel Rosa-Reposado retails between $74 – $79. Previous special editions such as the prestigious George Strait Añejo and George Strait Extra Añejo, retail for $120 and $350 respectively.
