bush, Elephant Gin is produced for anyone with a taste for adventure.
Handcrafted in Germany and with high quality production standards, the gin
is distilled using 14 botanicals, including rare African ingredients, to create a
distinctive flavour profile. The taste is complex, yet strikingly smooth.

ELEPHANT SLOE GIN Elephant Sloe Gin combines the taste of the premium London Dry Gin with the classic flavour of fresh sloe berries. Macerated in the gin for several months, these wild berries add a richly rounded, lightly sweet and exquisitely fruity bouquet as well as a typical warm red colour to the spirit. Compared to other sloe gins, Elephant Sloe Gin has a relatively low sugar content paired with a higher alcohol volume of 35%. This makes it ideally suited to mixing in cocktails as well as enjoying it neat. *limited to a few hundred bottles per year

THE CAUSE
Elephant Gin gives back to the land that inspired the gin in the first place.
15% of all Elephant Gin proceeds are donated to support the work of three partner
foundations that are helping to save the African elephant from extinction.
DID YOU KNOW?
One African elephant dies every 15 minutes because of uncontrolled ivory
poaching. At this rate, the African elephant will be extinct in 10 years.
10WORK WITH FOUNDATIONS
Elephant Gin has already contributed up to EUR350,000 to select projects.
At Big Life Foundation, Elephant Gin is funding 30 of 250
rangers that are currently protecting 2 million acres of wilderness
in Kenya by providing training, salary payments and equipments
such as rucksacks, tents and mosquito nets.
With Space for Elephants, Elephant Gin is focused on getting
communities involved by creating employment opportunities to
counter wildlife poaching. Among other project, Elephant Gin has built
an education center to train the community to learn about wildlife and
become entrepreneurs in the environmental, sales and tourism
business.
Exclusively with the miniatures, Elephant Gin supports The David
Sheldrick Wildlife Trust known as the most successful orphan-
elephant rescue and rehabilitation program in the world. Its elephant
orphanage near Nairobi nurtures baby elephants who have been found
in the wild - often either left behind when their mother dies due to
poaching or other human intervention. Each baby elephant has a
dedicated team member to nurse them back to strength and to rear
them to join their own herd of ex-orphans.
