Elephant Strength Gin 50 cl 57%

This powerful edition of Elephant Gin uses double the amount of the house's 14 botanicals, giving it a far more intense character than the classic London Dry edition.

Expert's description

Elephant Strength Gin is a German Navy Strength Gin, unaged and bottled at 57%.

The gin is built on the same 14 botanicals as Elephant London Dry Gin, including the African ingredients buchu, baobab, devil's claw and lion's tail, but uses double the quantity of each.

The extra botanicals combined with the high strength give a far more concentrated, powerful flavour experience than the standard edition.

Despite its strength, the gin is often described as surprisingly smooth, with a long finish dominated by juniper and citrus.

Tasting notes

Nose

The nose is powerful and fresh, dominated by juniper, layered with vibrant citrus, particularly sweet orange peel, an herbaceous hint of mountain pine, and the characteristic blackcurrant-like fragrance of buchu.

Palate

The palate is smooth with a strong juniper presence complemented by lemon peel, heather and mint, followed by orange, bitterness and mild notes of ginger and blackcurrant.

Finish

The finish is long and surprisingly smooth, with lingering warmth and a pronounced imprint of juniper and citrus.
