Aguardiente Amarillo de Manzanares

Aguardiente Amarillo de Manzanares is a traditional Colombian spirit, often referred to as 'yellow' aguardiente due to its distinctive golden hue. It was originally created in 1885 by Camilo Jimenez in the town of Manzanares, Caldas. Unlike many other anise-flavored spirits, this version is notable for its 'Sin Azúcar' (sugar-free) formula and its specific botanical profile.

The product is manufactured in the department of Caldas, Colombia, by the Industria Licorera de Caldas. This state-owned enterprise is responsible for the distillation and distribution of several historical Colombian liquor brands. Over the years, the brand has grown from a local regional favorite to a national icon, celebrated for its smooth taste and heritage. It remains under public ownership by the Government of Caldas, ensuring that its production contributes to local social and health programs within the region.
