Komos Extra Añejo Tequila is the pinnacle of the Komos range, a luxury, ultra-premium tequila crafted from 100% Blue Weber agave, hand-harvested from the highlands and lowlands of Jalisco. The piñas are roasted in traditional stone ovens, naturally fermented, and double-distilled in copper pot stills. This expression undergoes an extended aging period, typically over three years, in a combination of French oak white wine barrels and American oak whiskey barrels. This prolonged maturation imparts exceptional depth, complexity, and smoothness. Like other Komos tequilas, it benefits from gentle aeration to enhance its texture and richness. It is presented in a distinctive, handmade opaque black ceramic bottle designed for upcycling.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: A rich and complex bouquet featuring pronounced notes of vanilla, caramel, and toasted nuts, layered with hints of dark chocolate, dried fruit (like fig or date), and warm spices such as cinnamon and clove. The extended aging contributes a significant oak influence.
- Palate: Exceptionally smooth and full-bodied, with a harmonious marriage of sweet cooked agave, intense oak character, and warm spice. Expect flavors of toffee, butterscotch, dark chocolate, dried fruit, and possibly subtle notes of tobacco or leather. The whiskey barrel aging may contribute a gentle bourbon-like warmth.
- Finish: Very long and luxurious, with a warm and lingering finish that echoes the sweet and spicy notes, often with a pronounced oak presence and a velvety texture.
