Africa's Definitive Premium Palm Spirit
CALABASA
Palm Spirit
£55.00
Triple distilled from West African palm sap. Smooth, warm, and long-finishing. A spirit rooted in centuries of tradition, refined for the world.
The Spirit
Rooted in tradition,
distilled for the world
Calabasa is Africa's first premium palm spirit, born from the same ancient tradition that gave West Africa Ògógóró, Akpeteshie, Sodabi, and Koutoukou. Spirits that have been poured at weddings, funerals, ceremonies, and celebrations for generations.
We took that heritage and gave it the treatment it always deserved. Triple distilled for clarity and smoothness. Beautifully bottled for the global stage. A spirit that finally represents the culture it comes from.
Tasting Notes
Smooth, warm,
long-finishing
On the nose, Calabasa opens with the gentle warmth of palm wine, subtle tropical fruit, a whisper of vanilla, and something distinctly earthy. On the palate it is smooth and unhurried, with a warmth that builds slowly rather than burns. The finish is long and clean.
Serve neat to experience the full character, or use as the base for the Calabasa Picante — our West African riff on the Picanté, made with Calabasa, lime, agave, and scotch bonnet.
How to Serve
Three ways to drink
Neat
50ml Calabasa. A nosing glass. One drop of still water to open the spirit. The purest way to experience the full character.
Scotched Picanté
Calabasa, fresh lime, agave, scotch bonnet. A West African riff on the Picanté — the signature Calabasa cocktail.
Senior Man
Calabasa's version of the Chapman. A long, refreshing serve built on the spirit of West African celebration.
The spirit of heritage,
distilled.
