Discover a gin like no other—crafted with unmatched precision, exotic flair, and a dedication to complexity. Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin is a premium spirit born in Germany’s storied Black Forest, bringing together a bold blend of tradition, innovation, and global inspiration. With 47 hand-selected botanicals and an impressive 47% ABV, this gin offers an aromatic and taste-rich experience that captivates from the first sip.

A Global Spirit With a Local Soul

Monkey 47 is more than a name—it’s a story. The “47” stands for both the number of botanicals used and the alcohol content, but it also reflects the international heritage of the gin itself. Created by British Commander Montgomery Collins, who settled in the Black Forest after World War II, Monkey 47 is a product of cross-cultural craftsmanship. It fuses the robust botanicals of India with the precision of British gin-making and the wild ingredients of the German forest.

This gin is a true meeting point of worlds—each bottle echoing the character of its roots while pushing boundaries in flavor and composition.

Crafted With Precision, Powered by Botanicals

What truly sets Monkey 47 apart is its incredibly diverse lineup of 47 botanicals. While juniper forms the heart of any gin, here it shares the stage with a complex blend of herbs, spices, fruits, and flowers. Among the standout ingredients are:

• Lingonberries from the Black Forest

• Citrus peel and lemongrass

• Angelica root, coriander, and ginger

• Chamomile, sage, rose hips, and lavender

• Wild juniper and elderflower

Every element is carefully balanced, resulting in a gin that is fragrant, layered, and masterfully rounded.

Tasting Experience

Nose: Monkey 47 opens with a symphony of fresh citrus, floral tones, and herbal brightness. A hint of pine from the juniper mixes with exotic spices and soft fruit notes for a truly inviting aroma.

Palate: Rich and complex, the flavor journey begins with a zesty citrus pop, transitions into sweet berries and earthy herbs, and finishes with a warming spice. Every sip is smooth, full-bodied, and endlessly intriguing.

Finish: Long and elegant, the finish is dry, crisp, and leaves behind a lingering echo of fruit, wood, and subtle pepper.

Small Batch Quality, Handcrafted in the Black Forest

Monkey 47 is distilled in small batches using traditional copper pot stills. It undergoes a meticulous process of maceration, distillation, and slow maturation in clay vessels—an old-world technique that allows the flavors to meld organically. The use of spring water from the Black Forest adds a final layer of softness and purity that elevates the entire experience.

Serving Suggestions and Pairings

This gin is incredibly versatile and shines across a wide range of cocktails:

• Gin & Tonic: Pair with a high-quality tonic water and a slice of grapefruit or lime to highlight the gin’s citrus and berry notes.

• Martini: Let Monkey 47 be the star—combine with dry vermouth and garnish with a lemon twist for an ultra-refined take.

• Negroni: Mix with Campari and sweet vermouth for a bold, complex drink where each botanical can still be appreciated.

Alternatively, sip it neat or over a single ice cube to truly savor its complexity.
