Elephant Gin Elephant Strength

Elephant Gin grew out of long journeys through Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa, where a love of gin met a commitment to wildlife: a share of every bottle's profit funds African elephant conservation. This is the Strength expression, bottled at a bracing 57%, and the attention to detail extends to the labels, which are calligraphed by hand and each bear the name of a particular elephant. The botanical bill draws on African ingredients alongside Alpine mountain pine for a spirit that feels both rugged and refined.

The nose is led by juniper, mountain pine and green herbs. At navy strength the palate turns complex and floral, juniper and crisp apple framed by pine and small flickers of fruit and spice, while the high proof carries everything long and warm. It stands up beautifully in a gin and tonic with a sprig of rosemary, or anchors a punchy Negroni without being lost.
