Olifant Vodka

The origin of the Olifant brand relates way back to 1841 when a Dutch businessman, J.J.Melcher began producing his Hand crafted Dutch Vodka in Schiedam, Holland. He started trading of his hand crafted Vodka in the Dutch colonial areas of South and West Africa. They also started exporting Olifant Gin in the same period and marked the barrels containing Gin with the mark of an Elephant which gave it its brand name Oliphant.

The founder, Mr. Melcher was thoroughly committed to produce world class alcohol for his fellow Dutch men and as such he was careful enough to select the finest Dutch grains for production of his Vodka. Olifant Vodka is neutral 100% grain vodka. The Oliphant Vodka was distilled in very small batches so as proper attention could be paid at every stage of production of every batch and this is charcoal filtered and then aged for a long period to give it its original smooth and sublime taste. Due to its unforgettable finish and taste, Oliphant Vodka which was little known, grew widely in popularity and became enormously popular in the American market in particular. Its popularity made a mark on the world alcohol market.

There are currently two more drinks other than Oliphant Vodka which are being marketed under this brand. They are Oliphant Dry Gin and Oliphant Citron Vodka. The Oliphant Dry Gin is a combination of three distillates. One is very spicy Gin distillate which contains a wide range of spices which includes Juniper berries, Angelica and violet root, cinchona and many others. Oliphant dry gin is crafted in small batches based upon a carefully protected secret recipe. Each and every batch of production is so thoroughly supervised and personally guarded that it ensures that the exotic botanicals and luxurious aromas of the grain is present in every glass of the drink. This dry gin is drunk neat ‘on the rocks’ and is also an important spirit for mixing in number of cocktails and long drinks.

Oliphant Citron Vodka is 100% natural and is made by infusing the zesty flavors of fresh lemons from real lemon peels and by distilling it thoroughly in copper stills. This vodka’s family recipe relates way back to the 1800’s. This is an all natural product having a flavor equal to that of home made lemonade with a hint of spice in it.
