Black Forest Distillers Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin 1L
$164.98 $131.98
This small batch German Monkey 47 Dry Gin is much sought after by craft cocktail enthusiasts. A rare find with a unforgettable taste.
There are 47 ingredients in the Monkey 47 Gin recipe, all of which come from the Black Forest. These ingredients include angelica root, acacia flowers, bramble leaves, lingonberries and spruce shoots.
The Juniper berries they use come from the Mediterranean (Juniper from the Mediterranean is more aromatic, as they receive four to six weeks more sun than Tuscan and German berries). An exquisite dry Gin, this reincarnation of Monty’s Gin is a fresh and eccentric take on an old recipe
Tasting Notes Of Monkey 47 Dry Gin
Appearance / Color
Clear with a silvery, glycerous appearance.
Aroma / 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.
Flavor / 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.
