Hope Distillery, located in Cape Town, South Africa, is a pioneer in the craft spirits industry. Established in 2014 by Lucy Beard and Leigh Lisk, two former lawyers from London, the distillery was the first licensed small-batch distillery in Cape Town. It initially focused solely on producing gin but has since expanded its offerings to include small batch vodka, agave spirit, and rhum agricole, alongside a diverse range of gins.
This agave spirit is crafted through a meticulous process that includes a long fermentation period and slow, gentle distillation. After distillation, it is rested in stainless steel tanks for 30 days to allow the flavors to mature and meld together smoothly. The spirit is designed to be sipped and savored on its own or can be used in cocktails for a more diverse drinking experience.
