Leonista is the first, certified-organic, 100% Karoo agave spirit made in the traditional Mexican way.

Our production follows an age-old recipe used in Mexico to make Agave spirits like Mezcal. It requires smoke and fire, hence Leonista has a delicious smoky flavour. Our founder, Sarah Kennan, went to Mexico on a research tour and learns the process from their maestro distillers.

Leonista is essentially a local Agave Spirit (or 'mezcal' by historical definition) made using sustainable Karoo agave (Americana) that has been growing in South Africa for hundreds of years.

The harnessing of fire & smoke whilst baking/roasting, and the complexities of the natural yeasts during the crushing and fermentation stages of the production process lead to a unique and smoky flavor profile.
