Inspired by the African sundowner experience, Elephant Gin combines rare African botanicals with fresh apples and pure spring water to create handcrafted premium gins. This composition gives the gin a complex and strikingly mild bouquet with floral, fruity and spicy aromas.

Elephant Gin Founders, Tessa and Robin Gerlach, were inspired to create their range of premium gins following their adventures in Africa. They strongly believe that this generation has a responsibility to protect the future of African wildlife and are diligent in their approach to fundraising and working with conservationists to ensure meaningful change.

Elephant Gin's personalised gifting sets are available from www.elephant-gin.com

Elephant London Dry Gin (45%)
Elephant London Dry Gin owes its complex and remarkably mild bouquet to a composition of a total of 14 carefully selected herbs, roots and fruits, including African herbs such as buchu and baobob and fresh apples from northern Germany.

Elephant Strength Gin (57%)
The Elephant Strength Gin is an "overproof" variation of the award-winning Elephant London Dry Gin, with 57% alcohol and double the amount of ingredients but stronger and fuller-bodied than the original. A special focus on juniper, African buchu, orange peel and mountain pine give the gin a much more intense scent and taste, without neglecting the soft and balanced character of the London Dry Gin.

Elephant Orange Cocoa Gin (40%)
As an invigorating, citrus-fresh gin variation, the Elephant Orange Cocoa Gin (40%), a new addition to the portfolio, delights gin lovers with its aromatic complexity of sun-ripened Spanish organic oranges, fine organic orange peels and gently roasted cocoa beans. The recipe tastes full-bodied, textured and light, reminiscent of a hint of velvety soft orange chocolate.

Elephant Conservation Efforts
Every year more than 35,000 elephants are shamelessly killed because of uncontrolled ivory poaching; that is one every 15 minutes. Elephant Gin has made it a priority to contribute to the conservation and protection of these magnificent animals.

Elephant Gin donates 15% of its bottle profits to inspirational African elephant projects including East African anti-poaching organisation, Big Life Foundation; Elephant Gin and Space for Elephants’ own “The Wildlife Spirit” – an education centre in the South African Lebombo Mountains, focused on teaching local youth and adults about wildlife conservation and giving visitors the opportunity to learn about elephants and their importance to the ecosystem; as well as the Nairobi-based Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, known as the most successful orphan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program in the world.

Elephant Gin’s environmentally and socially conscious production methods and extraordinary quality standards have been honoured worldwide by the World Spirits Award and the Eco Excellence Award. Since 2019 Elephant Gin has been awarded the Butterfly Mark of the sustainability platform "Positive Luxury". The Butterfly Mark is awarded exclusively to luxury lifestyle brands in recognition of their commitment to creating a positive impact on our world.

The YouGov Big Survey on Weddings

The YouGov Big Survey on Weddings

The journey that begins with "will you marry me" and ends with "I do" transforms a couple's lives in multiple ways, but it also involves a huge number of decisions, as planning a wedding is no mean feat. Every guest will have an opinion on what a wedding should be like: from what's classy and tacky, to which traditions should be followed and which can be discarded. To help prospective couples get a grip on what these potential guests hope to see in a wedding, YouGov's new Big Survey on Weddings examines all these key debates about what should and shouldn't feature on the big day, including looking at the decisions that brides and grooms would make themselves. The study is part a Big Surveys project: a series of in-depth surveys on British society. It was conducted between 7-9 August 2026, with a sample of 1,784 adults in the UK aged 18 and above.

Brits are swapping the 'big day' for the 'right day' as searches for intimate wedding venues soar

Couples are increasingly choosing quality time over large guest lists, with new search data revealing a growing demand for intimate weddings and stylish registry office ceremonies.

For many, the legal ceremony is no longer just the paperwork before the "real" wedding. Instead, couples are dressing for the occasion, hiring photographers and celebrating afterwards with an intimate meal or party, proving you don't need a 200-person guest list to make the day feel special.
