The story of the world's first elephant dung-infused gin
Loading player...
In a world first, Western Cape scientists Les Ansley and his wife Paula have created gin made from botanicals extracted from elephant dung.
Elephant herds at Botlierskop Private Game Reserve in the Western Cape and Jabulani in Limpopo have become part of the mixology team (so to speak), with their droppings forming an integral ingredient in two brands of gin in the Ibhu stable, owned by the couple.
Ansley tell us the story of how he and his wife became the first distillers of award-winning elephant dung-infused gin.
