Sango is a type of agave spirit that is hand-harvested from the desert regions of the Karoo and KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. Agave has been growing in these regions for over a century, providing the raw material for the production of Sango. This spirit is likely to have unique characteristics influenced by the terroir of these specific regions.
Sango Reposado is a 100% African agave spirit, handcrafted from wild-harvested Agave Americana and Agave Salmiana grown in the Karoo and Eastern Cape. Double distilled in KwaZulu-Natal, it's aged for up to 12 months in reconditioned, heavily charred South African oak or red wine barrels—giving it a smooth, complex character.
Nose:
Aromas of vanilla, dark chocolate, and caramel, layered over vegetal depth like roasted bell pepper, sundried tomato, and zesty lime, with soft spice undertones.
Palate:
Medium-bodied and silky, the spirit offers almond, coconut cream, honeyed agave, and baking spices (cinnamon, nutmeg). Additional notes include pepper, a hint of eucalyptus, light minerality, and a balanced oak sweetness.
Finish:
Smooth and lingering: spicy, faintly sweet, with a warm oak-backed aftertaste.
