Coffee, Meet Agave
Quintaliza was born from a simple idea: coffee and tequila both reward terroir, roast and patience — so why not age one in the other's barrels? The reposado spends its first two months in used American oak, then finishes in oak that held organic Chiapas cold brew. The coffee influence is unmistakable but never liqueur-sweet: this is a dry, additive-free reposado that drinks like an añejo, earning a reputation as the carajillo's perfect partner.

Tasting Notes
Per the brand: roasted coffee, caramelized agave and earthy undertones, bitter chocolate on the nose; rich roasted coffee, oak and chocolate on the palate with subtly sweet agave; long, balanced, dark-chocolate finish. Reviewers add dark cherry, oak spice, tobacco and leather.
How to Enjoy
Neat or over one large cube to let the coffee unfold — or lean in: the brand-built serve is an Oaxacan Old Fashioned or a carajillo alongside an espresso martini.
