Aged four months in stripped and re-charred American Oak Bourbon barrels, El Bandido Yankee Reposado Tequila delivers a bold yet refined expression of the Jalisco Highlands. Crafted at the historic El Viejito Distillery (NOM 1107), this 100% additive-free reposado honors the centuries-old tradition of authentic tequila making.


Produced in the highlands of Jalisco from 100% blue agave, this reposado tequila takes shape at El Viejito Distillery, a storied producer known for uncompromising craftsmanship. The choice of stripped and re-charred American Oak Bourbon barrels imparts a distinctive character that sets El Bandido Yankee apart from the crowd.


  • Nose: Bright citrus and warm cinnamon open alongside roasted agave and inviting wooden barrel notes.
  • Palate: Citrus and cinnamon lead the way over baked agave, with subtle layers of oak and vanilla deepening the experience.
  • Finish: A warm agave presence lingers with toasted oak and vanilla, finishing with refined herbal complexity that glides smoothly from start to end.

El Bandido Yankee Reposado shines in a classic Tequila Old Fashioned, where its bourbon barrel character and vanilla notes come fully alive. It also brings unexpected depth to a Spicy Margarita, balancing heat with its naturally sweet baked agave core.


Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube to let the barrel influence fully express itself. A Jalisco Highlands reposado made from 100% blue agave with no additives, for those who demand the real thing.

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.

Map of Jalisco, Mexico, with Atotonilco el Alto marked

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.
