About Mahala
Introducing our story
Mahala Botanical is not just another alcohol-free spirit. It is a range of triple-distilled craft botanical spirits.
The botanical ingredients are carefully selected by danielle schoeman, our master distiller. Every stage of the production process is meticulously managed by our team at our craft distillery in cape town, south africa.
Mahala which means free in zulu slang, is not just free from alcohol but is also free from sugar, gluten and is vegan-friendly. We are one of the few farm to glass alcohol free drinks, crafted by us in our own distillery with no compromises.
About us
From farm to glass
In our distillery there is an amazing all female team of 3 - every single bottle that leaves our distillery, we have sealed it, applied the label, and put it in a box. We own the entire process from foraging the botanicals to distilling in our custom-built vacuum stills.
The all-natural botanicals undergo a triple-distillation process in custom-built vacuum stills. This ensures abundant flavour and results in a complex, layered finish. The end result is a premium drink that delivers a flavour packed alternative to alcoholic beverages.
Mahala botanical is an equal-opportunity employer and recruits locally and without prejudice.
