About Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin Monkey 47 is ride-or-die for gin lovers who crave something just a little bit different. This modern taste hails from Germany's Black Forest. It infuses the classic juniper-forward style of most gins with an aromatic blend of 47 different botanicals for a distinctive, multi-layered gin experience. "Bartenders are obsessed with this cult favorite gin. With an unmatched array of botanicals, this gin is unbelievably complex" - Food and Wine "... as a rare treat I highly recommend this gin..." - Aaron Knoll the GIN is IN Tasting Notes 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. Suggested Serves Cocktail: Nalani's Adventure Classic: Negroni with style Unexpected: A British favorite, the Rose Monkey 47 Cocktail Fizz pairs the unique gin with Prosecco and Fentiman's Rose Lemonade for a bright, summery drink Pair it with Italicus in The King's Breakfast, a sublime brunch (or anytime!) drink Recommended By Selected as the recommended spirit by Keli Rivers to pair with Shaker & Spoon’s Nalani’s Adventure cocktail. She recommends this German bombshell due to its high content of aromatic lingonberries and floral lavender, not to mention the hand-peeled lemon and grapefruit, which pair so well with the cocktails in this box. Why color with only two or three crayons, Keli says, when you can use the whole rainbow of tastes! Production Notes It starts with a love for London dry gin made from a unique molasses base, adds regional plant ingredients and exotic Indian spices of the highest quality and mixes them with centuries of German distilling expertise. The result is a master-quality gin of complexity and harmony unlike any other. While most gins use 12 botanicals or fewer, Monkey 47 gin's blend is meticulously crafted with 47 different botanicals, like lingonberries, hand-peeled citrus fruits, herbs, flowers and spices. It is produced in batches using traditional distilling methods. Here's what The Gin Guide has to say. 375ml & 94 Proof
