Pink Gin

The aroma of Indlovu Pink Gin is reminiscent of the African savannah, evoking scents that blend citrusy notes with an underlying earthiness. The unique ingredient, prickly pear, introduces a subtle fruity sweetness that complements the traditional gin botanicals like juniper and citrus​.

On tasting, Indlovu Pink Gin offers a delightful mix of flavours. The prickly pear cactus fruit, favoured by elephants and used in the gin, imparts a gentle fruity flavour that is both exotic and refreshing. This flavour is nicely balanced with the classic gin notes of juniper and a hint of vanilla, adding a smooth, creamy undertone to the palate.

The finish is smooth and subtly sweet, leaving a pleasant aftertaste that makes this gin a memorable drink. It’s recommended to enjoy it neat or in a simple cocktail to appreciate its unique flavours fully.

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.
