Meet Tequila Komos, an ‘Ultra Luxury’ Añejo Cristalino Aged in Wine Barrels
Here’s where things get interesting. The Blanco is aged for 12 months in French oak white wine barrels rather than whiskey barrels like other Añejos. This unconventional step, which draws on Betts’s fruitful winemaking background—he passed the Court of Master Sommeliers exam in 2003 and is considered a linchpin of the industry—stops the tequila from “tasting like whiskey”, he says, and instead imparts a more complex flavor profile.
From there, the Añejo is dripped through a charcoal column. Charcoal filtration is common within Cristalino tequila as it enhances the Añejo’s fruity and floral character while removing its color and congeners. What remains is a crystal clear, smooth tequila that packs all the taste and aroma of a barrel-aged drop.
