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 their own Black Forest source, give Monkey 47 its complexity and quality, which is fully brought to bear through masterly distillation and maturing in traditional earthenware containers. Add to that locally sourced cranberries and you have a Gin with a wealth of both quality and character. Monkey 47 is an ideal basis for both classic 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.###Product DescriptionFor some time now, Monkey 47 has been produced in the Black Forest at a distillery dubbed The Wild Monkey , which is located at the Schaberhof. An idyllic location that, until its purchase by Black Forest Distillers in 2013, was the site of traditional agriculture and cattle husbandry for five generations. Following an extensive planning phase, its new owners finally began the process of restoring the farmstead to its original condition in 2014.Tasting NotesDistinctive with bags of character. Terrific.
