KALUMBA
The Zwack family, with over 200 years of expertise in the art of herbs and spices, has long been dedicated to the exploration of unique flavours. Through their ongoing research, they uncovered the rich herbal and spice culture of Madagascar, which inspired the creation of Kalumba. Madagascar, one of the world’s oldest islands, is home to a remarkable array of flora and fauna, with 90% of its wildlife found nowhere else on Earth.
Kalumba Madagascar Gin is named after one of the world’s first recorded herbs, the calumba root. This gin embodies the island’s exceptional biodiversity, bringing the essence of Madagascar’s unique herbs and spices into a premium spirit. Kalumba is available in four distinctive variations, each offering a different experience of the island’s vibrant herbal heritage.
KALUMBA MADAGASCAR SPICED GIN
Kalumba Spiced Gin is a next-generation spiced gin, aged in oak barrels with dried figs, which enhances its deep, rich character. It is crafted with seventeen wild spices sourced from Madagascar and Africa, offering a unique and complex flavour profile. Best enjoyed on its own, chilled, or on the rocks with a splash of ginger, Kalumba Spiced Gin delivers an unforgettable taste experience.
KALUMBA MADAGASCAR WHITE GIN
Kalumba White Gin is an exceptionally pure dry gin with dominant citrus flavors and aromas, achieved through the use of cubeb pepper and lemongrass. Its taste is refined, revealing a subtle spiciness alongside classic juniper notes. For the perfect serve, we recommend enjoying it on the rocks as a gin and tonic.
The brand’s trademark is the ring-tailed lemur, an iconic animal of Madagascar, which symbolizes the brand’s deep connection to the island’s unique flora and fauna.
Notably, Kalumba won a gold medal in the gin category at the 2020 World Spirits Award (WSA).
KALUMBA MADAGASCAR MANGO GIN
Kalumba Madagascar Mango Gin brings a tropical twist to the gin world. Infused with the natural flavour of ripe mango and pink peppercorn, it delivers a vibrant, fruity profile that transports you straight to the tropics. A perfect choice for those who love exotic, refreshing gins.
KALUMBA MADAGASCAR BLOOD ORANGE GIN
Kalumba Madagascar Blood Orange Gin is a bright and zesty gin with a burst of fresh citrus, featuring the natural flavour of blood orange and a touch of myrtle distillate. In 2023, this flavour, alongside Kalumba Mango Gin, won the prestigious „Innovation of the Year” award in the beverage category at the Inno D’or competition, celebrating its unique approach to modern gin.
KALUMBA MADAGASCAR MARACUJA GIN
Kalumba Madagascar Maracuja Gin is crafted using rare herbs and spices from Madagascar, one of the world’s largest and most biodiverse islands.
