Komos Tequila Añejo Cristalino

Komos Anejo Cristalino is a 100% Blue Weber tequila produced at the historic Tequila Orendain distillery in Jalisco under NOM 1110, the Cristalino member of a luxury positioned range. Unusually it is matured in French oak white wine barrels rather than the American bourbon casks typical of anejo, then filtered clear, so it pours like a blanco while drinking like aged tequila.

Both highland and lowland agave are roasted in stone ovens, gently milled, fermented with native yeast and twice distilled in pot stills to make the base blanco. The anejo then rests twelve months in French oak white wine casks before a gentle charcoal filtration removes colour while preserving the barrel's richness. The nose gives dried fruit, lemon cake, light oak and agave, the palate sweet cooked agave, dark chocolate, pink peppercorn and a buttery roundness, closing long and complex at 40%.
