Award-winning tequila makers share exclusive expression with only 36 bottles available outside the US market
Award-winning, ultra-luxury tequila Komos has shared “Komos XO”. The brand’s most exclusive expression is produced in a limited quantity with only thirty-six bottles available outside the American market. Aged up to eleven years, and made in a single batch, using the rarest barrels and finest tequila, Komos XO joins the highly rated tequila collection as the brand’s ultimate blend.
In a meticulously crafted aging process, this tequila is aged in a combination of American oak ex-Bourbon and French oak ex-wine barrels, culminating in a final refinement in Spanish ex-Oloroso Sherry casks. The barrels, ranging from 3 to 11 years in age, bring forth a unique and unrepeatable tequila, embodying the pinnacle of craftsmanship and flavour complexity.
The Komos XO tasting experience is supremely complex. Rich aromas of chocolate, vanilla, toast and smoke meet a full, textured palate of dried fruits, followed by a seemingly endless finish.
The rare liquid comes presented in an elegant etched crystal decanter with the clear bottle designed to showcase the rich opulent colour of the tequila inside, while maintaining the Komos shape. Each crystal decanter is marked “Batch No. 1”, cementing its position with collectors. The once-in-a-lifetime release will be exclusively available throughout Europe via Berry Bros. & Rudd and is bottled at a cask strength of 42% ABV. The bottle is housed in a custom-fit box, thoughtfully designed for gifting.
Speaking on Komos XO, Komos Co-Founder Richard Betts said:
“It brings me immense pride to launch our latest and most premium expression yet with our fantastic partners at Berry Bros. & Rudd. With XO we set out to reach the epitome of aged tequila, meticulously designed to elevate any special moment. Having hand-picked every single barrel used, we ensured that only the finest, most refined tequila goes into this unparalleled blend.”
Sam Phillips of Berry Bros. & Rudd added,
“I am delighted Richard Betts and Komos have chosen Berry Bros. & Rudd for the exclusive launch of their fabulous first single batch outside of America. Agave-based spirits have been enjoying incredible growth in our business this last year across all channels from online to our private clients, both for drinking and collecting. It’s a particularly exciting time for spirits at Berry Bros. & Rudd and I am looking forward to future ultra-luxury releases being regularly featured in our new spirits shop during 2024.”
Consumers can find Komos XO stocked exclusively at Berry Bros. & Rudd RRP for £2,200 per 700ml bottle. For more information, head over to the brand’s official website.
