Quintaliza Reposado Tequila

Quintaliza bills itself as the world's first coffee-aged tequila, a brand founded by Mike Winters and based in Miami, produced at NOM 1522 in Amatitán, in the Tequila valley of Jalisco, under fourth-generation maestra tequilera Iliana Partida. It starts as an additive-free, certified organic tequila: mature organic blue Weber agave cooked in a high-pressure autoclave, roller-milled, fermented naturally for three days in stainless steel, and double distilled. The coffee comes in through the wood rather than the liquid. The reposado is matured in two barrel types, ex-bourbon American oak and then barrels seasoned with artisan-roasted organic coffee from Chiapas, a patented process the company says took two years to develop; reviewers describe roughly two months in bourbon barrels followed by three in coffee barrels. The tequila never touches liquid coffee, and the brand is explicit that it is not a liqueur, a flavored tequila, or an infusion. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof). The brand's notes describe roasted coffee, caramelized agave, earthy undertones, and bitter chocolate on the nose, roasted coffee, oak, rich chocolate, and subtly sweet agave on the palate, and a lasting sweet-and-bitter finish like good dark chocolate. Pour it neat or build a Carajillo around it.
