Bandero Tequila has launched Bandero Café in the UK, an authentic Mexican tequila infused with coffee, to fill a gap left when Bacardi discontinued its Patrón XO Café liqueur.
Bandero Café is smooth and dry, with notes of fresh roasted coffee, chocolate and vanilla. The small batch tequila uses Blue Weber Agave, matured for seven years in the Los Altos Highlands in Mexico.
It is available in 70cl bottles at 35% ABV through Molson Coors and Deckers Trading, who are set to enter into a UK distribution agreement for the product.
The deal also sees the UK launch of the brand’s original expression: Bandero Blanco is available in 70cl bottles, but at 40% ABV.
Jack Daniel from Molson Coors said: “There is growing demand for spirits and tequila in particular, so partnering with a premium tequila brand was a natural next step in our journey to broaden our offering beyond beer and cider.
“Our Beverage Hub team is always on the lookout for exciting new brands that can add a different dimension alongside our current offering, and Bandero will be a great addition to the spirit shelf for our customers that helps them drive sales.
