What is Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin?
Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin is a complex and aromatic spirit that incorporates 47 botanicals, including lingonberries from Germany's Black Forest. Interestingly, the gin's creator, Montgomery Collins, was a British Air Force Commander who moved to Germany after World War II and opened a guesthouse called "Zum wilden Affen" (The Wild Monkey), which inspired the gin's name and iconic monkey logo.
Why do we love Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin?
Cocktail enthusiasts should embrace Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin for its complex, layered flavor profile derived from an astounding 47 botanicals, including unique ingredients like lingonberries and spruce shoots foraged from Germany's Black Forest. This gin stands out for its precise balance of floral, fruity, and herbal notes, achieved through a meticulous production process that includes using molasses alcohol as a base and macerating ingredients separately before blending and distilling in small batches.
How do you drink Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin?
Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin shines in classic gin cocktails, where its complex botanical profile can take center stage, but it's equally delightful sipped neat or with a splash of tonic and a twist of citrus. This versatile gin is perfect for year-round enjoyment, though its warming spice notes make it especially comforting on crisp autumn evenings, and it pairs beautifully with bold, herb-infused dishes or tangy cheese plates.

Nose: Juniper-forward with bright citrus notes of lemon and orange peel. Herbal aromas of sage, thyme, and lavender blend with hints of pine and black pepper. Subtle floral undertones of jasmine and hibiscus emerge alongside a touch of cranberry.
Palate: Complex and well-balanced. Crisp juniper leads, followed by layers of citrus zest and spice. Cardamom, coriander, and nutmeg mingle with earthy angelica root. Fresh cucumber and lingonberry add a crisp, tart element. A soft honey sweetness provides depth.
Finish: Long and warming. Peppery spice lingers with gentle pine and eucalyptus notes. A subtle almond nuttiness appears, complemented by fading citrus oils and a whisper of licorice. Clean and dry throughout, leaving a refreshing botanical aftertaste.
