Elephant Gin is a German London Dry Gin with a distinctive botanical identity and a strong visual world inspired by Africa. Its recipe combines classic gin structure with a set of botanicals that are much less common in standard London Dry recipes, including buchu, baobab, devil's claw, African wormwood and lion's tail. The gin is bottled at 45% alcohol by volume, a strength that supports its aromatic breadth and gives the botanicals enough clarity in both neat tasting and mixed serves.

The botanical composition brings together juniper, orange peel, cassia bark, ginger, allspice, lavender, apple, elderberry and mountain pine needles alongside the African botanicals. Juniper keeps the gin anchored, while orange peel adds brightness and ginger contributes a dry warmth. Lavender and elderberry bring a soft floral and fruity register, and apple gives a fresh, gently rounded accent. Buchu, wormwood and the more resinous herbal elements add a wild, green dimension that distinguishes Elephant Gin from a purely citrus-driven London Dry.

On the nose, the gin opens with juniper, citrus peel and fresh herbal notes, quickly joined by lavender, apple and a trace of warm spice. The palate is structured and expressive: juniper leads, then citrus, ginger and cassia build a dry spicy line through the centre. Elderberry and apple soften the edges without making the gin sweet, while pine needles, buchu and wormwood create a more botanical, almost leafy depth. The finish is long, dry and aromatic, with spice, herbs and citrus peel lingering together.

Elephant Gin works best in a gin and tonic that keeps the serve elegant rather than overloaded. A crisp tonic with moderate sweetness lets the botanical complexity stay readable, and a garnish such as apple, rosemary, orange peel or a discreet herbal accent can highlight the gin's fresh and green character. It also has enough structure for a Martini, where the floral, herbaceous and citrus notes can unfold with very little decoration.
