Leonista, which means ‘lion energy’, is the first 100% Karoo agave spirit in the country made in the traditional Mexican way. The production process follows an age old recipe used in Mexico to make Agave spirits like Mezcal and has recently received an organic certification. It requires smoke and fire, hence Leonista has a delicious smoky flavour similar to that of a Mezcal. The founder went to Mexico on a research tour and learnt the process from the maestro distillers there. Since it is not made in Mexico it cannot be called Mezcal or Tequila, but it is essentially a local Mezcal made using South African Karoo agave that has been growing there for hundreds of years.
