Leonista Reposado Black Agave Spirit 70cl
Description
Leonista Reposado Black Agave Spirit
Leonista, meaning ‘Place of the Lion’ has pride of place in the Gin Fling family. Taking their inspiration from Mexico, they are the first 100% Agave spirits from the Karoo region of South Africa. The range of delicious drinks are handcrafted in South Africa, using certified, organically grown ingredients which are sustainably harvested and made in the traditional Mexican way from an age-old recipe.It’s similar to how Mezcal is made, but only those actually made in Mexico can be called Mezcal (that goes for Tequila too).
The unique and smoky flavour of Leonista comes from harnessing the fire and smoke in the baking / roasting process and from the complex natural yeasts which are released during the crushing and fermentation stages. Full of character and flavour, with wooden undertones, the final spirit is rested for a slightly sweeter taste.
Leonista Reposado Black Agave Spirit is less smoky than the original Reposado and has a mellow tone. This delicious aged agave spirit has been rested in old American Oak barrels, once containing brandy, which adds to the smooth mouthfeel, and has notes of butterscotch, caramel and dark chocolate.

For a longer drink, add ice to a glass. Pour in 50ml Leonista and top up with 150-200ml of Ginger Beer and garnish with a wedge of lime. We like this with Fentiman's Ginger Beer and Muddled Lime.
