The story
Komos was created with the goal of producing contemporary tequilas inspired by Mediterranean winemaking practices and distributed internationally. On its official site Komos is listed as the primary brand of the CKBG group (Casa Komos Brands Group).
Production philosophy
To honour everyday moments and celebrate sensory quality: Komos states it aims to offer accessible yet luxurious tequilas, with attention to bottle design and give-back initiatives in the region through the Komos Foundation.
Territory
Produced in Mexico, using agaves from the Highlands and Lowlands of the Tequila Valley in the state of Jalisco.
Awards and recognition
Komos states on its website that its collection has received extremely high ratings from The Tasting Panel, including the first perfect score (100 points) ever awarded to a tequila by that magazine.
Production method
Komos uses 100% Blue Weber agave sourced from the highlands and lowlands of the Tequila region in Jalisco. The piñas are cooked in volcanic stone ovens, fermented with native yeasts and double-distilled in pot stills. Some expressions are subsequently filtered (e.g. cristalino) or blended after maturation in casks.
Distillation
Double distillation in pot stills, with fermentation using native yeasts.
Ageing
Maturation in wooden casks: various expressions have minimum ageing (e.g. Añejo Reserva ≥12 months; Extra Añejo ≥36 months; Añejo Cristalino ≥1 year before being filtered). Some products are blended from different casks and the cristalino is charcoal-filtered after ageing.
