Monkey 47 Gin 94 proof 750ml

Monkey 47 Gin is a distinctive and highly acclaimed gin that hails from the Black Forest region of Germany. Bottled at 94 proof (47% ABV), this gin is celebrated for its complex and aromatic profile, created using an impressive blend of 47 botanicals, including unusual ingredients like lingonberries and Black Forest herbs, alongside more traditional gin botanicals like juniper, citrus, and spices.

On the nose, Monkey 47 Gin presents an intensely aromatic bouquet. The first impression is of vibrant citrus—lemon and orange peel—mingling with the piney freshness of juniper. As it opens up, more complex notes of herbs, spices, and floral undertones emerge, with hints of lavender, rosemary, and a subtle sweetness from the lingonberries.

The palate is equally complex and well-balanced. The initial taste is rich with juniper and bright citrus, quickly followed by layers of earthy herbs, sweet spices, and a touch of floral elegance. The high proof gives it a bold, full-bodied character, yet it remains remarkably smooth, with each botanical note distinct but harmoniously integrated. The use of 47 different botanicals provides a depth that is both intricate and satisfying, offering something new with every sip.

The finish is long and dry, with lingering notes of juniper, citrus peel, and a subtle, peppery spice. The complexity of flavors continues to evolve, leaving a clean, crisp aftertaste that invites further exploration.

Monkey 47 Gin is versatile, making it an excellent choice for classic gin cocktails like the Martini, Negroni, or a Gin and Tonic, where its complex flavor profile can truly shine. It’s also perfect for sipping neat or over ice, for those who appreciate its rich botanical complexity.

This gin has garnered numerous awards and high ratings from spirits competitions around the world, praised for its unique character and exceptional craftsmanship. Monkey 47 Gin is a must-try for any gin enthusiast or anyone looking to explore the depth and diversity that a premium gin can offer.
