Ibhu Indlovu Pink Gin (50cl)

Indlovu Pink is a flavoured gin from South Africa, in a 50cl bottle. Indlovu is the African word for elephant, and the gin is built around the animal: its botanicals, including acacia, buchu and heather, are extracted from washed and dried elephant dung and infused into the spirit. The back label gives the coordinates of the reserve where the dung was collected and the date. The Pink version takes its cue from the prickly pear, a fruit elephants favour. The nose is floral and slightly earthy. The palate is soft and sweet, with juniper, prickly pear and vanilla, and the finish is elegant and very delicate.
