Monkey 47 is a meticulously crafted dry gin from the Black Forest in Germany. Named for its use of 47 handpicked botanicals, it combines exotic spices with local forest ingredients and is distilled in traditional copper stills in small batches. The base spirit is made from molasses and soft spring water, resulting in a vibrant and balanced gin that’s become one of the most respected in the world of craft spirits.
Bouquet Wildly aromatic with a rich array of botanicals. Juniper, lavender and spruce lead the way, backed by citrus peel, hibiscus, lingonberry and warm spice. There’s a forest-like freshness, layered with floral and fruity complexity.
Palate Incredibly complex and precise. Classic juniper is joined by citrus, cardamom, cranberry, black pepper and subtle herbal bitterness. There’s a silky texture and vibrant acidity, with flavours evolving on the palate and a long, dry, spiced finish. Every sip reveals something new.
Food Pairing Best in a crisp G&T with a wedge of grapefruit or rosemary sprig. Also exceptional in Martinis and Negronis. Pairs beautifully with cured meats, smoked salmon, soft cheeses or earthy mushroom dishes.
Cellaring Best enjoyed fresh to preserve the delicate balance of botanicals. Once opened, store cool and sealed to maintain peak expression.
