Agavero Tequila Liqueur
Agavero Tequila Liqueur is the original tequila liqueur (the brand's claim): 100% blue agave añejo aged up to 18 months and reposado rested nearly a year — each aged separately in charred French Limousin oak barrels — hand-blended with the essence of Damiana, the flower indigenous to Jalisco's hot mountains, long rumored for its power to stir the emotions. Bottled at 64 proof (32% ABV) by Los Camichines Distillery in Jalisco. It's available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

The Original Tequila Liqueur
Before flavored tequilas were a category, there was Agavero: real aged tequila — añejo and reposado, French oak, blue agave — softened and sweetened into a liqueur with Damiana, the wildflower of the Jalisco highlands. The result drinks like an añejo tequila's approachable sibling: honey-colored, agave-forward, politely sweet. Wine Enthusiast scored it 90–95 back in 2006 (retailer-quoted).

Tasting Notes
Honey-colored. Aroma of agave with chamomile, anise, oak and wet sage; flavor similar to añejo tequila. Palate — rich and luscious, complex herbal and floral notes, pleasant approachable sweetness. Finish — smooth, subtle, soothing (brand/retailer notes).
How to Enjoy
Neat or on the rocks as a dessert pour; it also upgrades a margarita — try it in place of the orange liqueur for an agave-on-agave build.
