Karoo Agave and Cape Honey
Leonista draws on traditional Mexican agave-spirit techniques while working with South African agave. The brand describes cooking the agave in a wood-fired oven before crushing, fermentation and distillation. Its reposado spirits rest in American oak barrels previously used for South African brandy, before Honey Reposado is infused with honey.
