Overview
QUI Tequila produces Luxury Extra-Añejo Cristalino sipping tequila in small batches in Jalisco, Mexico. Each batch is aged for three and a half years in hand-selected American whiskey and French Bordeaux barrels, which yields the rare extra-añejo designation and flavors like hazelnut, vanilla, and butterscotch. After aging, the tequila is filtered and redistilled to create an exceptionally smooth finish, marketed as the world’s first platinum extra-añejo tequila. The product stands out from competitors through its long maturation, premium wood finishes, and a cristalino filtration that preserves complexity while yielding clarity. The company aims to offer a high-end, luxury tequila experience that has earned recognition, including a Gold Medal in the Spirits of the Americas Competition and accolades from the Wall Street Journal as one of the best bottles to buy now.
