Aged 12 months in stripped and re-charred American Oak Bourbon barrels, El Bandido Yankee Anejo is a 100% additive-free Highland tequila that refuses to compromise on craft or character.


Produced at the historic El Viejito Distillery (NOM 1107) in the highlands of Jalisco under the guidance of Master Distiller Karina Rojo, this anejo tequila is made from 100% blue Weber agave using traditional distillation methods that reject every mass-production shortcut.


  • Nose: Agave, vanilla, papaya, butterscotch, and coffee
  • Palate: Agave, vanilla, cherry, baking spices, woody notes, and almond
  • Finish: Black pepper, agave, oak, nutmeg, cinnamon, and orange peel

The depth and warmth of El Bandido Yankee Anejo make it a natural fit for an Old Fashioned or a Tequila Manhattan, where its bourbon barrel-kissed richness and spiced finish can truly shine.


Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube to let the layers fully open up. Crafted from 100% blue Weber agave grown in the highlands of Jalisco, Mexico.

El Bandido Yankee was founded by former pro athletes Jim Morris and Chris Chelios and is made at El Viejito, founded in 1937 as the first distillery in Atotonilco el Alto. Master distiller Karina Rojo works with Blue Weber agave from the Jalisco Highlands, harvested at about eight years, cut by hand and slow roasted for 40 hours in stone ovens. The tequila is twice distilled in small copper pot stills, then oxygenated for a velvety texture. The name comes from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, who were called El Bandido Yankees in Bolivia.
LOCATION

Atotonilco el Alto, Jalisco

Atotonilco el Alto sits on the southern edge of Los Altos de Jalisco, where the land rises from about 1,600 to 2,200 meters above the Ciénega plain. Its Nahuatl name means place of hot water, after the warm springs around town. Blue agave grows across the surrounding farmland in clay soils over volcanic basalt, and tequila making is the municipality's largest industry and employer. Highland agave from here is known for a sweet, fruity and floral profile.
