AsomBroso Announces Diosa Reserva Tequila for Valentine’s Day
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Santa Margarita CA - Ricardo Gamarra, is the CEO and founder of AsomBroso Tequila. He has spent years honing his skills in the craft of making premium tequila. The result is a delightful and unique 12-year-old reserva, exclusive AsomBroso tequila called Diosa Reserva. Diosa is the Spanish word for “goddess.”
He personally selected three Napa Valley American oak barrels that would house the aged tequila. As time progressed, Ricardo carefully monitored the taste profile of this tequila until he felt it was worthy of a goddess.
Diosa is housed in a beautiful stained-glass decanter, with three elegantly tied rope rings around it. With taste notes of butter cream, honey, butterscotch, roasted walnut, and fresh oak, this tequila is as uniquely distinct. It is priced at $899 per 750 ml bottle.
“Diosa was crafted with passion and love, making it an ideal Valentine’s Day gift for the special someone in your life,” said Ricardo. “If you really want to blow your Valentines mind, you can also make them an owner of AsomBroso by investing in our company”
According to MarketWatch, Tequila is the hottest spirits category on the market, and it’s not just a volume play—its fans are reaching for the top shelf at unprecedented rates. In the last five years, the tequila category has seen 41% growth, according to Impact Databank.”

With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
