Product Description:
Komos Añejo Reserva is a masterpiece, meticulously aged for a minimum of 12 months in a distinctive blend of French oak wine barrels, bourbon barrels, and sherry casks. This exceptional aging process imparts a rich, round profile, balancing the complexity of chocolate and fruit flavours, particularly from the sherry casks. The careful blending of these elements creates an unparalleled tequila, recognised for its 99-point rating by The Tasting Panel Magazine.
Made from perfectly ripe 100% Blue Weber Agave, hand-harvested from the distinct terroirs of both the highlands and lowlands of Jalisco’s Tequila Valley, this tequila is roasted in traditional stone ovens, naturally fermented, and twice distilled in copper pot stills. The meticulous aging process enhances its complexity, while the gentle aeration through tumbling softens the tequila’s mouthfeel, making it as smooth as it is flavourful. The resulting expression is one that combines finesse, balance, and elegance, ideal for sipping or creating sophisticated cocktails.
The iconic white ceramic bottle is handcrafted by artisans and designed to be upcycled, evoking Mediterranean beauty while preserving the aromas and flavours within.
Maker:
Tequila Komos is a pioneering luxury tequila brand that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation. Co-founded by master distiller Richard Betts, the brand is committed to creating exceptional tequilas that elevate the category. The process begins with carefully selected agave from both the highlands and lowlands of Tequila, Mexico, which is roasted in traditional volcanic stone ovens to develop a rich, complex base. Tequila Komos then ages its expressions in some of the finest French oak and American whiskey barrels, allowing the spirit to absorb deep, refined flavours. The final touch is a unique resting and aeration process that softens the palate and imparts a smooth, rounded finish. The result is a collection of award-winning tequilas that are as luxurious as they are approachable, crafted to celebrate life’s finest moments.
Philosophy:
Tequila Komos operates with a philosophy that merges time-honoured tequila-making traditions with cutting-edge innovation. The brand believes that tequila should be more than just a drink; it should be an experience—luxurious, yet inclusive. Each expression of Tequila Komos is carefully crafted, from the sourcing of the agave to the complex barrel-aging process that imparts exceptional depth and character. Beyond crafting world-class tequila, the brand is dedicated to sustainability and community support. Through the Komos Foundation, Tequila Komos repurposes byproduct waste from the tequila-making process, turning it into eco-friendly adobe bricks to build schools and infrastructure in Tequila, Mexico. This commitment to both exceptional craftsmanship and sustainable practices ensures that Tequila Komos is not only a premium product but a brand with a positive impact on the world.
