Tequila Komos is a Mexican distillery that is launching a new spirit called 'Añejo Reserva.' 'Añejo Reserva' is a premium quality expression made using ripe 100% Blue Weber Agave and aged in French oak wine, American bourbon, and sherry casks. The brand then improves the mouthfeel of the liquid and bottles it in its signature white ceramic bottle.
“Komos continues to be guided by our dedication to craftsmanship and our innovative combination of winemaking techniques with the art of traditional tequila-making,” said co-CEO & co-Founder Richard Betts. “[...] Añejo Reserva reaffirms our core belief that good living and good tequila are truly the perfect way to lean into any occasion.”
'Añejo Reserva' has notes of coffee and caramel toffee elevated by citrus zest, hazelnut, and dried apricot. The liquid has a lingering allspice, white pepper, and amber finish. The brand recommends drinking this expression neat, on the rocks, or in a cocktail.
