Tequila Komos XO Extra Anejo
Tequila Komos XO Extra Añejo is the brand's ultimate expression — a single batch, bottled at cask strength of 42% ABV (84 proof) in 750mL, aged in a combination of American oak bourbon, French oak red and white wine, and Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks for up to 11 years. Each etched crystal decanter is marked "Batch No. 1": blended only once, never to be replicated. The blanco base comes from agave hand-harvested in both the Highlands and Lowlands of Jalisco and double pot-distilled. Order it online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Eleven Years, One Batch
Komos runs more like a wine company than a tequila brand — co-founder Richard Betts hand-picked every barrel that went into XO, treating the blend the way a winemaker treats a cuvée. The barrels span three to eleven years of age across four cask families, finished in Oloroso Sherry for the patina that time and masterful blending alone can give. The official profile promises a provocative, textured palate — chocolate, vanilla, toast, smoke, and dried fruits with a seemingly endless finish. Explore the Tequila Komos range or browse tequila.

How to Enjoy
