Imagine a mezcal made in South Africa using local agave. That would be interesting to taste, wouldn't it? Of course, you couldn't call it a mezcal. But you could put a lioness on the label. That's exactly what Leonista has done here with an unaged blanco expression, made with sustainable, organic, and South African Karoo agave. Fun fact: Leonista means ‘Place of the Lion’.
Smoky, rich, and with lots of floral, cooked agave. There's also some caramel sweetness and tropical fruit.
