El Tirador Bandito Anejo Tequila

The Outlaw's Añejo
El Tirador leans into its legend — the bandit, the buried treasure, the wooden presentation box with hinged cantina doors — but the liquid underneath is serious Los Altos tequila: highland agave for sweetness and fruit, a patient American-oak rest for vanilla and toast, and the clean stainless-pot distillation NOM 1438 is known for. It is the rare story bottle that survives the first pour. Find more highland styles with the El Tirador line and the aged expressions in our tequila collection.
Tasting Notes
Nose: cooked agave, vanilla, toasted oak, orange peel. Palate: full-bodied and super smooth — vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, gentle spice, citrus. Finish: warm, smooth, lingering oak and agave.
How to Enjoy
Neat in a snifter to catch the full oak-and-agave balance, or on a large cube. It also makes a top-shelf añejo Old Fashioned — the vanilla and toast stand in beautifully for whiskey.
