The Olifant (Elephant) brand of genever dates from 1841 when the of J.J Melchers Wz Distillery in Schiedam started exporting Olifant Gin to the Dutch African colonies. So the dockworkers would recognise their barrels and to overcome the language barrier they were branded with an Elephant logo.

The bottle was restyled in December 2006 but the stout square bottle-shape retained, although a round bottle is also available.
