Quintaliza Reposado High-Proof: The Bold New Limited-production Tequila for Aficionados

Quintaliza Reposado High-Proof is a new 90-proof version of the super-premium Quintaliza Tequila that was launched last year. This new limited-production release was meticulously crafted for bartenders and tequila aficionados.

Quintaliza Reposado is the world’s first coffee-aged tequila, made from 100% Blue Weber Agave. Certified organic and additive-free, it achieves its unique character through an innovative aging process in oak barrels that previously held artisan-roasted organic coffee made from sustainably sourced coffee beans harvested in Chiapas, Mexico. This patented process allows Quintaliza to achieve its distinctive bold taste and aroma naturally from the barrels without overpowering the agave. This results in a balanced profile of roasted coffee, oak, earthy agave, and sweet vanilla.

This high-proof variant takes the robust flavors of coffee and agave to new heights and is ideal for mixologists to provide a superior base for both classic and modern cocktails. 

On top of that, Quintaliza remains steadfast in its commitment to accessibility, offering this high-proof tequila at no extra cost.

Mike Winters, founder and CEO of Quintaliza Tequila said: “Our tequila is a testament to two years of dedicated experimentation to get it right. With aficionados and bartenders in mind, we’ve created something truly unique without the use of any additives or blending or infusing with liquid coffee. 

"We are creating this for the people that truly love tequila, and we are not charging any extra money for it. We feel that with our passion for tequila, we want to share it with everyone that we can. This is a pure, bold tequila that’s never been done before.” 

The agave for Quintaliza Reposado High-Proof is sourced from Jalisco, Mexico, where it is grown organically and harvested at peak maturity. Following a meticulous three-day natural fermentation process, the tequila undergoes double distillation using traditional alembic pot stills to preserve its pure essence. 

Quintaliza is also dedicated to sustainable practices. The company uses only organically grown agave and repurposes coffee grounds from its barrels as fertilizer, enriching the soil in its agave fields. This commitment extends to its striking packaging, featuring a custom-designed opaque black bottle that is both elegant and environmentally conscious.

Quintaliza Reposado High-Proof is set to launch in early July, just in time for National Tequila Day on July 24th.
