Indlovu Gin is a unique South African gin brand known for using botanicals sourced from elephant dung. The idea was conceived by Paula Ansley during a safari in Kenya. Together with her husband Les Ansley, they started producing Indlovu Gin, which means "elephant" in several African languages. The dung is collected, cleansed, and dried to extract botanicals that are then infused into the gin, providing a distinctive flavour profile that varies by season due to the elephants' diet. This process also allows each batch of gin to have its own unique taste, akin to wine vintages. The company commits to conservation efforts by donating 15% of their profits to wildlife projects, including the Africa Foundation for the Phinda Wildlife Project.
Indlovu Citrus Orange & Marula Gin tantalizes the senses with a vibrant array of flavours, anchored by the bright zestiness of orange and the unique, tangy sweetness of marula fruit. These bold citrus notes are perfectly balanced with a subtle sweetness, creating a refreshing and lively taste profile. The gin finishes smoothly, leaving a lasting impression of fresh, exotic fruit flavours that evoke the essence of the African savannah. This combination of fresh citrus and exotic marula, coupled with its aromatic allure, makes Indlovu Citrus Orange & Marula Gin a standout selection for those seeking a spirited and flavour-rich gin experience.
