Codigo 1530 Mezcal Ancestral Joven

Código 1530 Mezcal Ancestral Joven is the brand’s mezcal expression — produced using ancestral clay still methods, gluten-free, and bottled at origin in Mexico, with a sweet and earthy aromatic profile of honey, tobacco, clay salinity, vanilla, cantaloupe, bright mineralogy, and hazelnut that reflects the ancestral production category’s traditional character.

Ancestral mezcal is the highest traditional production category under the Consejo Regulador del Mezcal — more restrictive than artisanal, requiring clay or wood stills, natural fermentation without introduced chemicals, and all-traditional processing methods. Código 1530 applies the same commitment to terroir and traditional production that defines their tequila lineup to the mezcal expression: no additives, bottled at origin, clay still production that produces the specific salinity, earthiness, and complexity the ancestral category is known for.
