Código 1530 has announced the release of a new limited-edition extra-añejo tequila expression: the George Strait Origen. As the brand’s first-ever barrel select Origen, this special offering is bottled from six unique barrels aged for over six years, hand-selected by brand co-founder and “King of Country” George Strait while on location filming the music video for his hit song “Código” at their distillery in Amatitán, Mexico.

“As I always say about Código: if it’s not your favorite, you haven’t tried it!” said Strait. “It is the highest quality tequila on the market by far, and we’re excited to release this limited-edition Origen batch to share with all our friends. I’m extremely proud of the final product and can’t wait for people to experience this special, extra-añejo tequila for themselves.”

Featuring hints of lush ripe fruit with a spicy oak bouquet, the George Strait Origen has been rested­­­­ for over six years in French White Oak barrels that previously held the world’s finest Napa Valley Cabernet. Retailing at $349.99, the 40% ABV spirit is a limited-run, with approximately 1200 bottles available nationwide.

Consumers can find it online from ReserveBar, on shelves at select Spec’s Wine, Spirits & Finer Foods, Twin Liquor, Sigel’s Fine Wines & Great Spirits, Western Beverages, Goody Goody, and Pinkies Liquor, and at most Total Wine & More stores across the county.

Código 1530 tequila was born from a secret family recipe known for generations by only a select group of Mexico’s most respected families and finest jimadors. Strait first sampled the nameless spirit while vacationing in Mexico and recruited a group of notable friends, including co-founders Ron Snyder and Federico Vaughan, to help make the tequila available to all under the Código 1530 name.
