Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin 1 LT

Admittedly, it appears somewhat eccentric to claim that a recipe for gin has the power to unite great British traditions, the exoticness of India, and the purity and nativeness of the Black Forest. And yet it is precisely this eccentricity that defines the enigmatic character of Montgomery Collins, from whom our Schwarzwald Dry Gin originates.

His childhood as the son of a diplomat in East Asia, his military career among the ruins of Berlin, and his late-adopted home in the Black Forest supply the autobiographical background for a recipe that represents an audacious combination of native Black Forest herbs and berries and exotic Asian botanicals.

A good third of the ingredients for this special gin come from the Black Forest and are definitely not what you would call typical gin flavorings! In total, 47 handpicked ingredients, prepared in extremely soft spring water from our own Black Forest source, give MONKEY 47, whose pièce de résistance is the use of local cranberries as some sort of "secret weapon" typical to the Black Forest, its unrivaled complexity and quality, which is fully brought to bear through masterly distillation and maturing in traditional earthenware containers.

Whether with tonic, as a sling, martini, or gimlet, the unique and complex taste of Monkey 47 is an ideal basis for both classics and more eccentric cocktails. With the distinct and pure scent of juniper, a tangy and crisp citrus note, a sweet, floral aroma, a hint of peppery spices, subtle bitter fruit, and a deep and harmoniously balanced complexity with a tremendously racy finish!

Handcrafted in Germany's Black Forest, Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin is legendary and takes gin-making to new heights. Named in part for its 47 botanicals and ingredients, this cult-favorite showcases grassy vegetable notes, hints of citrus, fruity sweetness, and a woody aroma. Outstandingly complex, this is for the discerning customer who wants only the best at the bar.

A variety of spices and herbs vie for your attention, making it difficult to pick out a single flavor from the complex blend. Pair this with a luxurious vermouth for an exquisite martini, or sip this gin on the rocks so you can focus on the fascinating take that Monkey 47 brings to your glass. A gin made for true connoisseurs, you will want to savor and appreciate every sip. It is certainly wunderbar.
