Spearhead Spirits
The Premium African Spirits Company
On a Mission to Change the Spirits Industry
Spearhead Spirits is an award-winning Premium African spirits company putting Africa on the world’s bar.
Founded in 2019 by Chris Frederick and Damola Timeyin, Spearhead’s story began with a single question: ‘Why is every continent represented in bars around the world, apart from Africa?
In distributor portfolios, bars and retailers full of spirits, there were no brands from Africa; an entire continent had been overlooked.
This is why we embarked on a mission to put Africa on every menu, shelf and drinks cabinet in the world, with a portfolio of award-winning spirits made in Africa, crafted with African ingredients from across the continent.

Our Brands
Premium African Gins That Bring the Best Out of Your Drink
Bayab is a versatile, high-quality gin range from Africa; perfect for bars & at home mixologists, who are tired of overly complex, overly botanical gins.
A well balanced citrus forward gin for those looking for a spirit that brings the best out of their cocktails.
Bayab’s story begins on the terrains of Africa, where the famous baobab tree grows. Made famous by the Lion King, the baobab tree produces the flavour
rich superfood, the baobab fruit, which is the botanical at the heart of our range of African gins.
It is the baobab fruit that unlocks the sweet African citrus flavour you’ll find in all our bottles. The distinct baobab flavour is complimented by seven
incredible botanicals sourced from across Africa and together they create a gin, with refreshing soul.
We break with the traditions of the gin industry, to give you modern & vibrant African soul in every sip.
Premium 100% Agave Spirit, Made with African Agave
Sango is a 100% agave spirit made with wild African agave from across Africa. This additive-free, super-premium spirit is crafted from Agave Americana & Agave Salmiana, which finds its second home in Africa.
Made by Spearhead Spirits, the premium African Spirits company that champions the natural flavors of Africa and aims to improve representation of the African continent on the world spirits stage.
Sango pays homage to Mexican agave mythology through an African lens with its name, which is taken from the African Orisha, Shango – the deity of thunder and lightning.
Start a new tradition by giving your favourite tequila cocktails a bold African twist with Sango and revel in the wild spirit of Africa.
