Meet El Bandido YankeeMexico
Highland agave. Traditional production. A distinctive tequila from El Viejito Distillery in Los Altos de Jalisco.
El Bandido Yankee begins with mature Blue Weber agave from Jalisco’s highlands. Production at El Viejito Distillery is led by master distiller Karina Rojo.
Its approach follows the agave through hand harvesting, slow roasting, fermentation and copper-pot distillation. Blanco, Reposado and Añejo explore how that character develops with time and oak.

The details make
the difference.
Highland agave, individual character
+
The tequila begins with Blue Weber agave from Los Altos de Jalisco. At El Viejito Distillery, master distiller Karina Rojo follows the agave through a traditional production sequence.
From piña to copper pot
+
The agave hearts are slow roasted in stone ovens before fermentation and double distillation in copper pots. The Blanco offers a direct introduction to that cooked-agave character.
Time changes the conversation
+
Reposado rests for four months, while Añejo matures for twelve months. Stripped and re-charred American oak bourbon barrels introduce a warmer register of vanilla, spice and oak.
