Description
Smooth and inviting, Bandido de Amores Añejo offers a refined sipping experience—100 % blue agave tequila with a rich amber hue, mellow oak influence and a sweet-spicy finish that strikes a balance between everyday luxury and thoughtful indulgence.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Bandido de Amores is crafted from 100% Weber blue agave in Mexico, distilled and slowly matured to bring forward both agave character and cask complexity. For the Añejo expression, the spirit is aged approximately eight months: first in French oak barrels for four months, then transferred into a second fresh barrel for an additional four months. The relatively short but dual-barrel ageing offers depth while preserving the agave’s freshness.

Tasting Profile
-
Nose: Warm amber colour in the glass; first impressions of toasted oak, vanilla bean and dried fruit (fig, apricot) followed by subtle agave honey and spice.
-
Palate: Soft and smooth entry: brown sugar, caramelised agave, toasted nuts and light cinnamon spice. The secondary barrel character adds hints of light French-oak vanilla and gentle wood tannin.
-
Finish: Moderately long with sweet-oak echo, gentle peppery warmth and a lingering kiss of vanilla and agave syrup.
