No, I grew it from hybrid seed.
Agave
"American aloe plant," 1797, from Greek Agaue, proper name in mythology (mother of Pentheus), from agauos "noble," perhaps from agasthai "wonder at".

I love that yellow flower! Was it fragrant at all?

Not that I could tell. It hasn't attracted much in the way of bugs or birds either...I tried to self pollinate it, but am not real hopeful. I expect it will offset after the flower is done, since 'Bloodspot' does so prolifically.

I saw a new one called Mangave ‘Tequila Fire’ at Home Depot tonight. It was dark so I “borrowed” this picture from Facebook.

Got a few seed from the above plant, and 3 or 4 more pods yet to mature. I'll end up with maybe 150 seeds...not bad!
