We Ask Jamie Soriano Brand Director for Komos about Nassau Paradise Island Wine and Food Festival

As part of our “What We’re Hearing” about Nassau Paradise Island Wine & Food Festival at Atlantis (NPIWFF) content series, we are counting the days until the annual event in March 2025!

The five-day celebration of food, wine, spirits, and Bahamian-culture attracts all sorts of talent from celebrity chefs to connoisseurs. We ask Jamie Soriano, Brand Director for Komos, about this year’s event.

Talk to us a bit about Komos.

Komos redefines ultra-luxury tequila, blending the highest artistry in tequila-making with innovation inspired by European winemaking techniques. Perhaps most importantly, we age our tequila in the finest French oak wine barrels which impart beautiful flavors, a unique depth and alluring softness. With our five distinct expressions, there’s Komos for every occasion. We’ve also been awarded the highest-rated tequila collection by The Tasting Panel magazine.

What inspired your involvement with NPIWFF?

Komos recently relaunched our distribution in the Bahamas with Bristol Wine & Spirits via our brokerage relationship with Southern-Glazers/Webb Banks. They’ve been a fantastic partner, and as a sponsor of the NPIWFF, we were excited to support them in this event and drive Komos awareness in the Bahamas market.

Tell us about your experience this year.

Komos was featured at the Tacos & Tequila event on Thursday evening. We offered neat tastings of our trilogy – Añejo Cristalino, Reposado Rosa, and Añejo Reserva – in addition to 3 cocktails.

What were some of the highlights?

Introducing new consumers to Komos, welcoming Tony Abou-Ganim into our bar to mix cocktails exclusively for Komos, and being featured alongside so many talented chefs with amazing cuisine, including host Andrew Zimmern.
