Leopard Frog handcrafts an exceptionally small batch gin portfolio that delivers a bespoke gin experience inspired by botanicals found in the Nambiti Private Game Reserve in the Zulu Kingdom that also enables you to help save endangered wildlife in South Africa.
THOMBI LIONESS GIN COLLECTION
Thombi was the original lioness of the Nambiti Private Game Reserve, a 23 000 acre conservation area located in the heart of the Zulu Kingdom in the Kwa Zulu Natal Province, South Africa. Holding court over her numerous offspring and other wildlife for over 15 years, Thombi was a beautiful and much-loved lioness affectionately known as the ‘Queen of the Nambiti’.
Honouring her legacy, the Thombi Lioness Gin Collection is an exceptionally small batch gin portfolio that delivers a unique experience among premium gin offerings.
Much like the finest wines in the world, each Thombi Lioness Gin is a terroir-driven offering infused with a secret recipe of different flavours of natural botanicals inspired by the biodiversity of the Nambiti Private Game Reserve. Handcrafted in a copper still in our award-winning distillery by our award-winning master distiller, each offering has a distinct taste profile that proudly reflects the complex and rich biodiversity of Nambiti.
