Product Description:
The Komos Extra Añejo Tequila is a pinnacle of craftsmanship, achieving the first-ever perfect 100-point rating from The Tasting Panel Magazine. Aged for a minimum of 3 years in French oak white wine and American oak whiskey barrels, it develops an opulent profile of sophistication and depth. With each barrel selected for its character and quality, this Extra Añejo delivers a unique and luxurious expression that captures the essence of its carefully chosen ingredients.
True to Komos' commitment to excellence, this Extra Añejo is made from hand-harvested 100% Blue Weber Agave, grown in the highlands and lowlands of Jalisco, Mexico. The piñas are slow-cooked in traditional stone ovens, fermented with native yeast, and twice distilled in copper pot stills. Following this, the tequila undergoes extended aging, which contributes to the rich and refined flavours of dried orange peel, candied ginger, and toasted pecans. The final step—gentle aeration—rounds out the tequila’s mouthfeel, enhancing its richness and smoothness.
Handcrafted by artisans, the distinctive turquoise ceramic bottle with its reactive glaze reflects the Mediterranean influence, designed to protect the complex aromas and flavours of the tequila while adding a unique visual touch.
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.
