Producer history Elephant

The Elephant project was born from the founders' travels in Africa; the first bottle was sold in 2013. Over the years the range was expanded with variants such as Sloe Gin (introduced in 2015), the overproof "Strength" version (2017) and various seasonal editions. The company grew to obtain B Corp certification and developed sustainability initiatives (including an "eco bottle"). In 2022 the ownership underwent international investment and acquisition activity; the company has also supported conservation projects with over €1,000,000 in sales-linked donations.

Production philosophy

To produce quality gin with an impact model: combine artisanal production and Africa‑inspired ingredients with concrete commitments to conservation (regular donations to elephant protection projects) and environmentally focused practices.

Territory

Produced in Germany (production/operational district linked to a distillery in Germany); inspiration and partial sourcing of botanicals from Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, South Africa and other areas mentioned in the brand's stories). International sales and distribution.

Awards and recognitions

Taste Master - The Spirits Business Gin Masters 2021 (Elephant Strength); mentions and awards at World Gin/World Spirits Awards in recent years (e.g. World Spirits Award / World Gin Awards noted in product sheets and by distributors).
