Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin is a master quality gin from the Black Forest, Germany, with floral notes, fresh tangy citrus fruits, clear juniper tone, peppery, and spicy mouthfeel with a subtle hint of lingonberries to give it that certain "je ne sais quoi."
Through masterly distillation and a maturation period of 100 days in traditional earthenware vessels, the goodness of the 47 meticulously selected botanicals, from which, a lot of them, can be found in the Black Forest but also sourced from where we could find the finest quality in the world, is brought fully to bear in Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin.
Admittedly, it appears somewhat eccentric to claim that a recipe for Gin has the power to unite great British traditions, with the spices of India, and the rich natural landscape of the Black Forest. And yet it is precisely this eccentricity that is found in the unparalleled attention to detail that is put in making our handcrafted and small batch distilled Schwarzwald Dry Gin.
Alongside the Schwarzwald Dry Gin, Monkey 47 produces a Sloe Gin made with re-distilled tales collected from the dry gin production and macerated for several weeks to allow for fruitiness and sweetness extraction. Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Sloe Gin’s bottle is made with 95% Post-consumer recycled materials also known as “wild glass,” embracing the imperfections of mother nature.
No great story ever started with a salad, but we choose to believe that one or the other did indeed start with a Monkey 47 & Tonic instead, garnished with a fresh grapefruit zest, or for the most eccentric adventurers, served as a delicious classic cocktail or twist.
Aficionados, bartenders, and connoisseurs of the world over have come to appreciate the incredible complexity and harmony of a ‘wunderbar’ gin, which has consistently been voted Top Trending Gin brand in the World's Best Bars.
