A premium tequila brand is making waves in the spirits industry by expanding its presence across multiple U.S. states while maintaining a commitment to quality and sustainability. In the first quarter of this year, Bandero Premium Tequila successfully entered the Illinois, Nevada, and North Carolina markets, complementing its already established footprint in California, Colorado, Texas, New York, and New Jersey. This growth aligns with the brand's continued recognition through prestigious accolades, such as the Gold Best in Class award at the 2025 Berlin International Spirits Competition for its Blanco variety.

Bandero’s journey began in 2021, rooted in the use of premium Blue Weber Agave cultivated for seven years in the rich red clay soil of Jalisco's Los Altos region. The result is a tequila that captivates the palate with floral and honey-like notes, earning numerous awards along the way. Each bottle reflects the brand's core values—authenticity, heritage, and environmental responsibility. Bandero Blanco stands out as a pure, additive-free spirit crafted through small-batch production, honoring time-honored techniques from Los Altos, Jalisco. Moreover, the company prioritizes sustainability by repurposing liquid byproducts for irrigation and utilizing agave fibers to support local agricultural projects. Even the packaging underscores eco-consciousness, featuring bottles made from recycled glass and adorned with plant-based vegan leather.

The rapid expansion into new territories signifies a growing demand for high-quality tequila accessible to all. According to Johanna DeJoria, Vice President of Sales, the brand aims to share its narrative of craftsmanship, tradition, and sustainable practices. With a 50% increase in sales compared to the previous year and a remarkable 40% market share growth over the past four months, it's evident that consumers appreciate Bandero's dedication to excellence without compromising affordability. The brand offers two exceptional products: an ultra-pure Blanco, triple-distilled and chill-filtered for unmatched clarity and flavor, and a unique Café variant, which harmoniously blends the Blanco with Mexican coffee concentrate and agave honey, resulting in a velvety texture with hints of roasted coffee, vanilla, and cacao. As tequila becomes increasingly popular in the United States, Bandero bridges the gap between accessibility and sophistication, offering a refined drinking experience under $50.

Inspired by cultural heritage and modern innovation, Bandero exemplifies how preserving traditions can coexist with forward-thinking initiatives. By embracing sustainability and delivering top-tier spirits, the brand not only satisfies consumer desires but also contributes positively to the environment and local communities. Through its expansion and award-winning products, Bandero demonstrates that success lies in balancing respect for origins with adaptability to contemporary demands, paving the way for a brighter future in the spirits industry.
