The legend
El Bandido Yankee chases life like it has a bounty on its head. And in turn, life and law pursue him the same.
When we raise a glass with El Bandido, we embody his spirit. We get to believe what he believes. That if you want something, you take it. And if you can’t find it, well, harvest it and distill is yourself.
That's precisely how our distillery was born.
100% pure Jalisco agave. Fit for an outlaw and as smooth as the day is long.
EL BANDIDO YANKEE ISN'T ANOTHER TEQUILA
It's purE outlaw spirit.

MEET OUR FOUNDERS
a few bandidos walk into a bar
One taste of authentic tequila from the Mexican heartland and they were hooked. Our original bandidos, Jim Bob Morris and Chris Chelios, were on fire to share great tequila with the world. These former professional athletes turned hardscrabble entrepreneurs turned tequila hunters hatched a plan. Make the best damn, best-tasting tequila. Make it the right way. No cheating. Toss in a mix of their own maverick spirit of work hard, celebrate always and bam, the bandido spirit was born.
