Indlovu Pink Gin is a South African “pink” botanical gin from Ibhu, inspired by the savannah diet of elephants. Its standout flavour comes from
prickly pear (the fruit of the cactus), combined with botanicals foraged by elephants (extracted via cleaned and sterilised elephant dung). It is bottled at
43% ABV. A portion of profits is given to elephant conservation through HERD (Hoedspruit Elephant Rehabilitation and Development Trust).
Tasting Notes:
-
Appearance: Clear with a soft rosy-pink tint; luminous in the glass.
-
Aroma: Floral and slightly earthy; prickly pear leads with hints of vanilla and soft juniper in the background.
-
Palate: Smooth, sweet-fruity entry; flavour of prickly pear, juicy berry fruit, vanilla cream, balanced by a botanical earthiness and juniper backbone.
-
Finish: Elegant and delicate; lingering vanilla, soft fruit, and subtle herbal/earthy tail without harshness.
-
ABV: 43%
Serving Suggestions:
Chill before serving; use a balloon or gin glass with ice. Pair with neutral or light tonic to let the fruit and vanilla shine. Garnish with a slice of prickly pear, or citrus (grapefruit or orange peel) for contrast. Works well in fruity gin cocktails or spritzers. Also enjoyable neat or with a splash of soda to highlight its botanical nuance.
