Monkey 47 Gin
An unusual gin from the Black Forest in Germany, Monkey 47 contains a unique ingredient. The 47 comes from the number of botanicals that go into this unique gin, and the fact it`s bottled at a healthy 47%. On the nose there is woody, vegetable smells under pin fresh grassy citrus notes and botanical sweetness, like a pine forest after the rain. The palate is predictably complex, this is a robust and powerful gin with plenty of spice, fruit and herb flavours. It`s very well structured, and difficult to unpick but a citrus fresh start segues into pine and wood notes for a drying finish.
Monkey 47 Gin
Monkey 47 is a craft gin that has become popular with both experts and casual drinkers. It is distilled in Germany`s Black Forest and contains 47 botanicals. This gives it a unique flavour and its name.
The gin`s story starts with Montgomery "Monty" Collins, a British officer in Berlin after World War II. Inspired by German spirits and British gin-making, Collins aimed to make a special gin. He adopted a monkey named Max at the Berlin Zoo. This inspired the gin`s name.
In 2008, Alexander Stein, from a family of distillers, found Collins` story. He teamed up with expert distiller Christoph Keller. Together, they created a gin to honour Collins` vision. They chose 47 botanicals for the recipe, creating Monkey 47.
Monkey 47 includes usual gin ingredients like juniper and coriander. It also has Black Forest flavours like lingonberries and spruce. Global spices add to its taste. The botanicals are soaked in a molasses spirit, then distilled in copper pots. The gin ages in earthenware before bottling.
The gin has a complex, balanced flavour. It starts with citrus and juniper, then reveals spicy and floral notes. It works well in a range of cocktails.
The gin`s packaging is unique, with an apothecary-style bottle and a label showing Max the monkey. The label also hints at the gin`s botanicals.
Monkey 47 is known worldwide and has won many awards. It has changed ideas of German gin. It leads in premium gins, showing skill and innovation. The gin has sparked interest in botanicals and regional flavours in distilling.
Monkey 47 is a strong gin that blends British heritage with the Black Forest`s magic. Its botanical mix offers a taste that is diverse and mysterious. Enjoyed alone, with tonic, or in a cocktail, Monkey 47 offers a rich history and flavour.
A very unique gin, really add`s to the gin category as a whole. Unique botanicals which is really best showcased in a gin and tonic or a `Dry Martini`.
