This spirit was rested for over 7 months in a 225L first fill Wild Turkey Bourbon barrel. The extended resting period at 64% alcohol allows for a gentle extraction of the caramel and spicey characters in the bourbon charred barrel without over-powering the fresh agave characters of the natural spirit. The resulting spirit yields an upfront spice of fresh chilis, burned caramel, sandalwood with the characteristic long and saline finish of the Inzalo Spirit.

Only 376 bottles produced from a single first fill Wild Turkey barrel. Extremely rare, collectable, and available now.

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
    Rested for over 7 months in a first fill Wild Turkey Bourbon barrel, the spirit was distilled to 64% and rested for over six months to allow for a gentle extraction of the caramel and spicy characters in the bourbon charred barrel.

02 — the taste

A tasting profile

Nose

The resulting spirit has notes of sweet cedar and sandalwood, with notes of perfumed lavender and granite.

Palate

The spirit evolves and grows in your mouth, with a spicey, elegant sweetness. While the sweet and caramel characteristics of bourbon are present, they blend elegantly with the agave spirit providing an initial taste of sweet, smoked cedar.

Finish

The finish evolves into a lingering agave flavour that further develops into sweet spice and perfume.

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.
