In 2008, Alexander Stein founded the Black Forest distillery with the intention of producing the best gin the world had ever seen. The Monkey 47 is composed of 47 ingredients including cassia, hibiscus, jasmine, bergamot, blueberry, verbena, elderberry, spruce and more. In just a few years, it has become a key classic and one of the biggest and most prestigious spirits of all.
The name is a tribute to British Commander Montgomery, who created his gin in the Black Forest in the 1950s; it is made in micro-vessels (1,250 litres) and distilled in small steam-heated stills.
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
