Born in the highlands of Jalisco and built on a refusal to cut corners, El Bandido Yankee Blanco is a 100% additive-free tequila that lets the agave speak for itself.


Crafted at the historic El Viejito Distillery (NOM 1107) under the guidance of Master Distiller Karina Rojo, this blanco begins with hand-harvested Blue Weber agave grown in the mineral-rich volcanic soils of Jalisco's highlands. Every step of production honors traditional distillation methods, free from mass-production shortcuts or additives of any kind.


  • Nose: Baked agave, fresh citrus fruit, and a cool lift of mint.
  • Palate: Baked agave and mint lead into black pepper, cinnamon warmth, and bright citrus peel.
  • Finish: Crisp and refreshing, with lingering notes of citrus, pepper, and a touch of vanilla.

El Bandido Yankee Blanco shines in a classic Margarita or a Paloma, where its citrus-forward brightness and peppery backbone add real depth without overwhelming the glass.


Best enjoyed neat or over a large ice cube to let the agave character open up fully. Made from 100% Blue Weber agave, sourced from the highlands of Jalisco.

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.
