Product description
Elephant Gin is London dry style gin made in Germany and inspired by African wildlife.
While on a trip to South Africa the gin founders – Robin Gerlach, Tessa Wienker and Henry Palmer – decide to create spirit that they hoped would help conservation trust. Elephant Gin contributes 15% of its profits to two charities – Big Life Foundation and Space for Elephants – both focused on the conservation of elephants. Elephant Gin is distilled in Germany, about an hour east of Hamburg, using 14 botanicals including rare African ingredients that have not been used in gin formula before. Devil’s claw, African wormwood, Lion’s tail and buchu are sourced from South Africa, baobab from Malawi, cassia bark from Indonesia, ginger from China, pimento from Mexico, mountain pine from Austria, elderflower from Poland and Ukraine, orange peel from Spain, apple from Germany and lavender and juniper berries from Europe. The design of Elephant Gin’s logo as a stamp is a nod to the letters sent home by the 19th Century explorers of Africa, in which they described the botanicals discoveries they made.
“Elephant Gin distinct nose first yields a subtle juniper aroma, with an undertone of mountain pine and other herbaceous notes. The taste is complex but strikingly smooth, encompassing floral, fruity and spicy flavors, which can be enjoyed both straight or in a cocktail”.
