The Elephant Sh*t Gin Wahala

A new South African gin has just dropped and it’s made from botanicals that have been eaten – and excreted – by elephants. Despite a varied diet, elephants only digest around 50% of their food, which leaves a variety of plant life, including roots, bark, fruit, flowers and seeds, behind for reuse. To make Indlovu gin, the elephant waste is collected by hand, then dried and washed to remove the excess waste. The leftover botanicals are then sterilised and dried, before being added to the gin.
