Handcrafted in Jalisco, Agavero Original is a sensual tequila liqueur that blends estate Blue Weber agave tequilas (Reposado & Añejo) with the aromatic Damiana flower. Silky, honeyed and gently spiced, it glides from floral agave and citrus to a long, luxurious finish—perfect neat, over ice or as a decadent twist in classic cocktails. A beautiful choice for indulgent gifting.
Tasting Notes & Experience
On the nose, sweet agave and wildflower honey with hints of fresh blossoms and soft citrus. The palate is plush and creamy: toffee, vanilla and gentle herbal notes layered over cooked agave. A touch of baking spice unfurls into a long, lightly sweet finish with a whisper of citrus zest.

Cocktail Pairings
For luminous freshness, try an Agavero Margarita—the Damiana lift adds floral depth to lime and orange liqueur. A tropical Jalisco Piña plays up its honeyed agave against ripe pineapple. After dinner, a rich Agavero Espresso (espresso with a measure of Agavero) delivers café crema, caramel and spice in a seamless nightcap.
Craftsmanship & Story
Created in 1857 by Master Distiller Lázaro Gallardo, Agavero marries hand-selected Reposado and Añejo tequilas—aged in oak—then harmonises them with Damiana, a fragrant herb native to Jalisco long celebrated in local lore. Produced at historic La Rojeña, the blend is crafted for exquisite balance, showcasing agave’s natural sweetness with an elegant, velvety texture.
Special Features
A unique union of aged tequila complexity and botanical elegance, Agavero’s Damiana infusion delivers a signature floral-honey profile and a silken mouthfeel. Versatile yet refined, it elevates classics, shines as an after-dinner pour, and arrives in an eye-catching bottle that makes a thoughtful, luxurious gift.
