Monkey 47 Gin (375 Ml)

This handcrafted Black Forest Dry Gin is made in a small distillery in Germany, offering a truly unique experience for gin lovers. Its name hints at the remarkable 47 hand-picked botanicals that create an incredibly complex flavor. These botanicals combine traditional gin ingredients like juniper and coriander with local herbs such as spruce shoots and exotic Asian spices and fruits, reflecting the founder’s diverse inspirations.

A standout ingredient is fresh lingonberries, native to the Black Forest, which add a distinctive touch. Unlike most gins, the base spirit is made from molasses, and the botanicals are carefully prepared with soft spring water sourced from the distillery. Batch distillation in small copper stills ensures consistent quality, and the spirit is then rested for 100 days in earthenware vessels, allowing the flavors to harmonize.

The taste is celebrated for its complexity, with bright citrus notes, earthy spices, and subtle floral aromas. It comes in a small, dark brown apothecary-style bottle with a cork stopper and vintage label, making it visually striking. Perfect for sipping neat, on the rocks, or in simple cocktails like a Dry Martini or Gin & Tonic, this gin has earned cult-favorite status and high praise from international critics.
