Bandero
Highland Jalisco tequila from slow-roasted, single-origin Blue Weber agave.
- Based in
- Atotonilco el Alto, Jalisco
Their story
Bandero is a tequila from the Los Altos highlands of Jalisco, backed by Patrón co-founder John Paul DeJoria and supported by Johanna DeJoria. It has grown quickly, expanding into the U.K. in 2022 through a distribution deal with Molson Coors.
The range includes Blanco, aged tequilas and Bandero Café, a coffee and agave liqueur.
How it's made
Bandero uses single-origin Blue Weber agave grown at high elevation and harvested by hand after six to seven years. The piñas are trimmed, steam-cooked for three days in clay ovens rather than autoclaves, and distilled in copper stills. Bottles use recycled glass, and spent agave fiber is reused.
