Best Tequilas of 2024? Quintaliza High Proof Tops the List

The tequila world has spoken, and Quintaliza High Proof is on top!

If you know tequila, you know Bottle Raiders, the leading aggregator of expert spirit reviews. They’re renowned for cutting through the noise to deliver the most trusted ratings in the industry. That’s why we’re beyond thrilled to share that Quintaliza High Proof (45% ABV) has been named #1 in Bottle Raiders’ “8 Best Tequilas We Tasted in 2024, Ranked.” Their Raided Score® averages the most credible critiques from across the internet, ensuring every ranking is objective. This year, we just so happened to take the crown.

Bespoke cask finishing is shaping the future of tequila, and as Bottle Raiders put it, “For our money, no brand does it better than Quintaliza.” Our commitment to pushing boundaries while respecting authenticity is what sets us apart. Quintaliza High Proof takes our signature coffee-aged repo and turns up the intensity, delivering a flavor experience unlike anything else on the market.

We especially love how Bottle Raiders made sure to highlight our distinction from coffee liqueurs, which we absolutely are NOT.

“Make no mistake, this is not one of those coffee liqueurs you’ve been hearing so much about lately.”

Quintaliza Named World’s Best Tequila by Forbes

Big news, folks! Forbes has acknowledged Quintaliza Tequila as the world’s best tequila, with our organic reposado earning the top spot at the 2023 Barleycorn Awards! Naturally, we’re over here celebrating like proud parents who just found out their kid is valedictorian and prom queen. It’s a huge honor, and we’re thrilled to share what makes Quintaliza award-worthy.

The secret sauce (or rather, the secret sip) lies in our process. We create our organic tequila using traditional methods, but we add a Quintaliza twist—our reposado is aged in barrels that have been seasoned with organic, artisan-roasted coffee. This unique approach lets us craft a smooth, layered experience, one that Forbes describes as, “Far deeper than you might suspect from something that spends less than a year in oak.”

It’s safe to say that when the experts at Barleycorn tasted our tequila, they were as wowed as we are proud. And for good reason! Quintaliza isn’t your average spirit; it’s a bold adventure in a bottle, made for people who love flavor with a little edge. Whether you’re mixing it into a craft cocktail or enjoying it neat, every sip is a celebration of tequila as it’s meant to be: complex, authentic, and one-of-a-kind.

Discover Quintaliza Tequila – A Bold New Spirit

What makes Quintaliza such a unique sipping tequila?

Quintaliza Tequila is a 100% Organic, additive free, sipping tequila, but that’s not what makes it so unique.

Introducing Quintaliza, an industry-first pairing of two of the world’s most adored flavor profiles: smooth, organic tequila and subtle notes of roasted coffee beans. But this isn’t another corny coffee liqueur. Quintaliza Tequila is a 100% pure agave sipping tequila that belongs on the top shelf with your other all-time favorites.

So what makes Quintaliza so unique?

Short answer? It’s our approach. We have spent the past several years digging deep into the artisanal processes of roasting coffee and distilling tequila, discovering the unique components required to create a simpatico relationship between both flavors. Quintaliza is tequila first – coffee second, so each sip offers an enriching experience.
