Comisario Tequila
Highland agave from Arandas, additive free, poured in Commack.
The story behind Comisario
Comisario comes out of Arandas, in the Los Altos de Jalisco highlands, where estate blue agave is farmed at roughly 8,000 feet and cut at six to eight years old. The brand took shape in 2012; Elite Beverage International acquired the rights in 2014 and built the modern company around it in Anaheim, California. The juice itself is made with Casa Aceves at Casa Tequilera de Arandas, NOM 1499.
The method is where it gets interesting. A blended cook, 70 percent autoclave and 30 percent brick horno, then a five pass rollermill, an 18 hour fermentation on Champagne yeast, double distillation in copper and steel pots, and a 36 hour micro oxygenation and cold filtration finish. No additives, no glycerin, no caramel. We have poured it across this counter for years.

Which Comisario is right for you?
Pricing runs where highland, additive free tequila should. The Comisario Blanco 750mL sits at $41.99, the Reposado at $46.99, and the Anejo at $55.99, which is fair money for 23 months in bourbon and California Cabernet casks. The Gran Comisario IX extra anejo is a collector bottle and priced accordingly.
