First Impressions
Elephant Strength takes the award-winning African-botanical Elephant Gin and bottles it at full navy strength — 57% ABV. The 14 botanicals including devil's claw, buchu, and baobab are amplified by the higher proof, and the 15% conservation donation continues.
Tasting
The nose is clean and earthy with meadow flowers, woody bark, and subtle orange. On the palate, zesty coriander brings citrus and spice, with floral cilantro, black liquorice, juniper and baking spice — herbal and fruity with warm peppery notes. The finish is long and spicy with bell pepper, sweet chilli, and liquorice root.
The Bottom Line
Elephant Strength earns an 8 for amplifying the African-botanical gin to magnificent naval intensity. The 57% reveals new dimensions — bell pepper, sweet chilli — that the standard expression hints at. At around £38, conservation-supporting power.
