(0.5l, 47%)
Oooops.This bottle isn't on our current list of Home Bar Essentials... but it could be. Add it to your wish list and let us know you want it!
An extraordinary Gin. Period.
Monkey 47 is distilled by Christoph Keller for Alexander Stein of Black Forest Distillers. Monkey 47 is very much a novelty within the Gin Universe, unique because of its low production and a real difference in style and taste.
Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Gin is obtained by double distillation of grain and a third distillation with botanicals, aged in clay pots. Made with 47 botanicals and bottled at 47%, they also use a secret weapon typical to the Black Forest in the mix - cranberries.

Hardcore Gin lovers say the word Martini should never be preceded by vodka, lobster or pomegranate. They say the original and only real Martini consists of Gin, vermouth & olives, period!
Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes
Appearance / Color
Clear with a silvery, glycerous appearance.
Smell / Nose
Crisp and fresh on the nose. The initial perfumed burst is of sweet berry / juniper and assorted fresh citrus peel; further aeration releases pine needle, lavender and clove-like scents. Distinctive and somewhat unconventional, some tasters found the aromatics a little cologne like.
Taste / Palate
On the palate, this begins soft and glycerous, gradually building intensity, climaxing in an explosion of peppers; Mid palate is off dry and oily with juniper, lavender, pine needle and spice. Some tangy notes in the mouth add extra freshness to the traditional characters. Fairly complex.
Finish
Good balance of all components and racy, fresh finish, flavors persisting into the long, dry after taste.

Bracing stuff!

Tom,
I'm normally not a gin drinker. Monkey 47 has changed that. The smooth, slightly fruity flavor has made me look for offbeat gin recipes.
anonymous,
Amazing Gin! Very rich flavour, herbaceous and even a bit spicy. Definitely my favourite for G&T and also great for many cocktails
anonymous,
One of the best tasting gins around. Best with fever tree Mediterranean tonic with lots of ice and no garnish. Really allows the flavours of the gin to shine, uninterrupted.
Florian,
👌🏻
William,
Hands down the most complex and delightful gin I have ever tasted. These ratings should go to 11 #spinaltap
