Monkey 47 - Schwarzwald Dry Gin

Monkey 47 Dry Gin is distilled in four small pot stills and aged in clay jars for 100 days. This unique production method preserves its finest aromas, resulting in a spirit of great complexity. The nose is highly evocative, opening with intense, fresh notes of menthol, camphor, and juniper berries, gradually revealing a more fruity character, particularly citrus. The palate enhances this aromatic complexity with a smooth, spicy, and tangy profile, balancing peppery and lemony notes. The finish is long-lasting, with an intense touch of black berries. A truly immersive sensory journey! Enjoy it simply over ice, in a Gin Fizz, Gin Tonic, or paired with cooked ham or smoked salmon.
