El Bandido Yankee Plata 47 is a highland tequila built on the belief that nothing should stand between you and pure agave expression. Additive-free and uncompromising, this plata delivers the kind of bold, transparent character that separates serious tequila from the crowd.


Crafted at the historic El Viejito Distillery (NOM 1107) in the highlands of Jalisco under the expert guidance of Master Distiller Karina Rojo, El Bandido Yankee Plata 47 is made from 100% hand-harvested agave using traditional distillation methods that reject every mass-production shortcut. The result is a plata tequila that is as honest as it is refined.


  • Nose: Bright fresh agave, lime, and delicate florals with a grounding hint of minerality
  • Palate: Bold roasted agave anchors notes of citrus, fresh herbs, and a lively peppery kick
  • Finish: Warm and enduring, with lingering agave, honey, and gentle spice

El Bandido Yankee Plata 47 shines in a well-crafted Margarita, where its citrus brightness and peppery backbone elevate every element, and it holds its own beautifully in a Paloma alongside fresh grapefruit soda.


Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube to let the agave speak for itself. El Bandido Yankee Plata 47 is a 100% agave tequila from 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.
