Stamford Cocktail Competition Features Código 1530 Tequila

Brescome Barton hosted a cocktail competition featuring Código 1530 Tequila at Tequila Escape in Stamford on June 18. Six local bartenders squared off in a friendly competition, creating their best cocktails for judges using Código 1530 Tequila as their base spirit. The winners were first place: Danny Campaverde, Nômade, and second place: Bryan Itaborahi, Terra Gaucha Brazilian Steakhouse. Código 1530 100% agave azul tequilas—available in Blanco, Añejo, Barrel Strength Añejo, Reposado, George Strait Origen Extra Añejo and Rosa expressions—are made using hand-selected, fully matured agave from Amatitán, Mexico, from freshwater pools and rainwater. Each batch is then filtered through the volcanic soil of Los Bajos and aged in the finest Napa Valley Cabernet French white oak wine barrels through the family’s time-honored aging technique, rather than the more commonly used American whiskey barrels. The distinctive difference in the aging embraces the “clean elegance of winemaking” to produce a uniquely delicate finish.
