Only one 100L New American Oak barrel produced. The spirit was distilled to 64% and rested for over six months to allow for time to extract the sweetness and floral perfume created by the interaction of our Agave spirit and the new world oak. The resulting spirit, while still light amber in colour, is powerful, layered and complex.

With only 164 bottles produced, this is the most limited expression in the Inzalo Single Barrel Release.

SERVING SUGGESTIONS

Sip neat by the fire or on a block of ice.
Craft and origin
  • Region
    Cultivated in a remote valley in the Western Cape of South Africa, where agaves descended from Mexican stock have adapted over more than 300 years to ancient seabed soils and intense sun.
  • Agave
    100% wild red agave — hand-harvested at full maturity. The distinctive red tips are shaped by the mineral-rich terrain and high-UV climate the plant has come to call home.
  • Production
    The spirit was distilled to 64% and rested for over six months to allow for time to extract the sweetness and floral perfume created by the interaction of our Agave spirit and the new world oak. The resulting spirit, while still light amber in colour, is powerful, layered and complex.

02 — the taste

A tasting profile

Nose

The resulting spirit is a perfect, yet powerful balance of agave and sweet oak. The nose is floral, perfumed, with distinct notes of sweet spice and melted butter.

Palate

The spirit erupts in your mouth, bringing layers of different flavour, starting with tastes of sweet cedar and pine evolving to flavours of salted and buttered popcorn. The profile is heightened by floral and perfume notes that sing above the oak flavours. While the impact of the wood is pronounced, the favour of the agave is not lost, with soft notes of earthy brown sugar and orange peel.

Finish

The finish is long and evolving, with the trademark saline minerality felt at the back of the tongue, whilst the velvet texture of the spirit covers your mouth.

Not tequila.
Not mezcal.
A new class of agave spirit.

04 — the origin

The red agave

Influenced by ancient seabed soils and intense sun, these agaves form red tips, standing distinct amongst the landscape. In a region where little else grows, they thrive — and when distilled, deliver sweet spice and mineral notes born from the land itself.

05 — the process

Hand-harvested.

slow-cooked.

wild fermented.

06 — questions

Frequently asked

Where do you ship to?

We deliver to all corners of South Africa, bringing Inzalo Agave Spirit straight to your door.
How should I store it?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the bottle upright and sealed when not in use.
Can I gift a bottle?

Let us know in the purchase notes or simply add the details of the person you are gifting it to at checkout.
Is it additive-free?

Yes. Inzalo is made from 100% wild red agave, wild yeast, and mountain water. No sugars, no colourants, no glycerin, no flavouring. Just slow-cooked wild agave, wild-yeast fermentation, and pure distillation. What you taste is the plant and the land.
What makes Inzalo different from tequila or mezcal?

Tequila and mezcal are legally defined spirits that can only be produced in specific regions of Mexico from designated agave species. Inzalo is made in South Africa from wild red agaves that descended from Mexican stock over 300 years ago and adapted to our ancient seabed soils. Same plant family, entirely different terroir. It's not trying to be tequila — it's its own category.
