Komos Añejo Reserva Tequila
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 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.

The extracted juice, known as "mosto," then goes through a natural fermentation process. Unique wood and stainless steel tanks are utilized, and the fermentation is enriched by using leftover agave fibers from the tahonas. Native yeast is added to enhance the aromatic expression, resulting in a deeper and more nuanced flavor profile. The tequila is distilled in hand-built copper alembic pot stills of the highest quality. It undergoes a double distillation process, carefully monitoring the alcohol volume to achieve the desired smoothness that 818 Tequila is known for. To further enhance the character of the tequila, it is aged in superior oak barrels. The Reposado and Añejo expressions are aged in both American and French oak, allowing for a harmonious fusion of flavors.
