Eclectic nose of juniper, citrus, slight fruity sweetness, hints of herbal spiciness. Very hot neat. The most interesting flavors hold up with tonic, savoury spices and earthiness remain apparent the most in the aftertaste with tonic's sweetness providing a nice counterweight. Somehow I felt thirstier after drinking it than before.

Fourteen total botanicals, including juniper, buchu, baobab, lion's tail, devil's claw, African wormwood, apple, ginger, mountain pine, orange peel and pimento are macerated together a full day in the base spirit before being distilled. For every purchase of Elephant Gin, 15% of the profits are donated to wildlife conservation in Africa.

Balanced gin with interesting flavours. Was lovely straight and worked well with citrus forward g and t. Loved the bottle, the story behind it and so on but its priced similar to monkey 47 and it's just not in the same league or even ballpark as Monkey 47.
82 N: jalovec, citrusy, jemně kořenitost 21 T: výrazný, trochu alkoholový, výrazně jalovec, citrusy, kůra grepu 21 F: střední, alkoholový s citrusy 20 B: výrazný, trochu alkoholový, lepší asi bude v GT 20
Do citrusů, hřebíčku, nicméně hodně drsný a alkoholový, kde ten alkohol zbytečně přebíjí ostatní chutě. V G&T by mohl byt fajn, ale nemám tonic zrovna
Balanced juniper forward. Soft, mouth coating. Mild, inviting citrus and botanicals. A little alcohol on the finish but nicely warming.
Pretty good, some unusual botanicals used which were difficult for me to pick out. Pleasant enough, not very memorable though
