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.”

Is Quintaliza the First Organic Additive-Free Tequila Featured on Perfect Daily Grind?

Is Quintaliza the First Organic Additive-Free Tequila Featured on “Perfect Daily Grind?”

There have been plenty of coffee liqueurs that masquerade as tequilas, but Quintaliza is an industry-first, additive-free tequila with subtle notes of coffee… Are we also the first additive-free to be featured by Perfect Daily Grind?

“Wed, 28 Jun – Quintaliza launches world’s first coffee-aged tequila. Quintaliza Reposado Tequila is finished in oak barrels, which previously held roasted coffee from Chiapas, Mexico.”

— Perfect Daily Grind

Each Friday, Perfect Daily Grind gathers the crème de la crème of coffee industry news from the past week, and thanks to our unique coffee-aging process, Quintaliza Tequila’s launch made the July 7th recap! Quintaliza’s organic tequila stands out as a trailblazer, marking a significant milestone as quite possibly the first organic, additive-free tequila ever to grace the pages of this esteemed coffee news outlet. Because one thing’s for sure—we’re certainly the first tequila of our kind.

We are calling it – Quintaliza IS the First Organic Additive-Free Tequila Featured on “Perfect Daily Grind”

Although our tequila never actually touches a drop of liquid coffee, it’s finished in barrels that once held artisan coffee from Chiapas, Mexico, giving us a truly one-of-a-kind connection to the coffee industry. It’s a testament to Quintaliza’s innovative approach that has captured the attention of both the coffee and spirits aficionados alike, and we’re proud to see that Perfect Daily Grind is excited to showcase such pioneering ventures at the intersection of these two vibrant worlds.

in Rolling Stone®

Well, we weren’t quite “on the cover of Rolling Stone,” but Quintaliza Tequila was featured in Rolling Stone’s “The Best Tequilas for Making Margaritas, According to Spirits Experts” article. Salud!

“The uniqueness of Quintaliza is truly in the aging process, giving off soft hints of oak, chocolate, tobacco, and subtle notes of coffee on the back end. Perfect for cocktails, but an aficionado will sip it neat, admiring its many complex layers and golden beauty.”

— Alli Torres, Freehold Hospitality, Operating Partner, Miami/NYC

After the recent release of Quintaliza’s brand-new reposado tequila, we’re so proud to receive recognition from such a prestigious and influential publication as Rolling Stone. Being listed among “The Best Tequilas for Making Margaritas, According to Spirits Experts” validates our efforts and inspires us to continue pushing boundaries in the tequila industry.

In the article, author Gabrielle Nicole Pharms emphasizes the importance of using high-quality tequila for margaritas and advises against using tequilas with sugary sweet flavors. Although Quintaliza features a unique, coffee-forward flavor profile (thanks to our proprietary aging process), we are not a coffee liqueur. The soft and subtle tasting notes of our 100% organic tequila make it the perfect option for a cocktail.

Check out the article to discover exactly what makes our reposado such an exceptional option for classic margarita recipes. And when you’re ready to concoct some cocktails of your own, you can purchase a bottle of Quintaliza Tequila here.
