Our Story

M a h a l a i s a n o n - a l c o h o l i c , t r i p l e d i s t i l l e d s p i r i t .

Mahala is made in South Africa, using nine hand-sourced botanicals that are infused under vacuum to extract the flavour. The entirety of the product is distilled with our custom built stills.

“Mahala” is the Zulu word for “free”… Mahala Botanical is free from sugar, alcohol, colourants and artificial flavours. Mahala is also gluten and vegan friendly.

Mahala Botanical is a non-alcoholic, triple distilled spirit. Mahala is made in South Africa, using nine hand-sourced botanicals that are infused under vacuum to extract the flavour. The entirety of the product is distilled with our custom built stills.

MAHALA AMBER

Launched in March 2023 Amber has the same 9 hand-sourced botanicals with the addition of extracts of oak, smoke and chilli which give it a deliciously warming smoky flavour.

In 2020, Danielle Schoeman, a renowned South African Master Distiller, began trialling various alcohol-free distilled spirits in her Dona craft distillery.  Foraging botanicals from her family farm in the Cape she experimented with various blends until eventually discovering the perfect recipe.
