Monkey 47 is a London Dry Gin born in 2008 from the mind of Alexander Stein who founded the Black Forest Distillery with the intention of producing the best gin the world had ever seen.
Composed of 47 ingredients including cassia, hibiscus, jasmine, bergamot, blueberry, verbena, elderberry, spruce and more, Monkey 47 is made in 1,250-litre micro-vessels and distilled in small steam-heated stills.
The name is a tribute to British Commander Montgomery, who pioneered the Gin market in Germany in the 1950s.
One third of the ingredients in Monkey 47 come from the Black Forest and are certainly not typical aromas of traditional gins!
In total, 47 selected ingredients, prepared in extremely soft spring water, give Monkey 47, whose centrepiece is the use of cranberries, its unrivalled complexity and quality, which is fully brought out through masterly distillation and maturation in traditional earthenware containers.
The unique and complex flavour of Monkey 47 is the ideal base for both classic and more eccentric cocktails. With the distinct and pure scent of juniper, a crisp citrus note, a sweet and floral aroma, a hint of peppery spice, subtle bitter fruit and a deep and harmoniously balanced complexity with an extremely lively finish!
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.
