Hand-harvested Blue Weber Agave piñas sourced from both the highlands and lowlands of the Tequila Valley are roasted in traditional stone ovens, then the aguamiel is naturally fermented and twice distilled in copper pot stills. What separates this cristalino from nearly every competitor is the finishing step: rather than relying solely on charcoal filtration to strip color after barrel aging, the liquid is gently aerated in Greek wine amphorae. This winemaking technique — tumbling the tequila to introduce controlled oxygen exposure — softens the mouthfeel and adds a buttery roundness that straight filtration alone cannot achieve. The result is a crystal-clear spirit that retains the depth and complexity of its añejo aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tropical fruit and citrus zest arrive first, followed by warm vanilla, lemon cake, and dried fruits.

The result is an añejo that drinks with the layered complexity of a fine aged spirit yet maintains the agave backbone that defines great tequila.

Blue Weber agave piñas are hand-harvested from both the highland and lowland regions of the Tequila Valley, then slow-roasted in traditional stone ovens before natural fermentation and double distillation in copper pot stills. The liquid matures for at least three years in a combination of French oak white wine barrels and American whiskey barrels, then undergoes a final aeration step — a winemaking technique in which the tequila is gently tumbled inside Greek wine amphorae to introduce controlled oxygen, softening the mouthfeel while adding richness and roundness. This Mediterranean-inspired finishing step is a hallmark of the Komos brand and distinguishes it from nearly every other extra añejo on the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose opens with dried peach and pecan pie before giving way to a warm undercurrent of turmeric.
