Monkey 47

Monkey 47 is a cult-favorite craft gin produced in Germany's Black Forest, unique for its use of 47 different botanicals—an unusually high number for the category. Its uniqueness is further enhanced by its use of local Black Forest ingredients like lingonberries and spruce shoots, which are distilled with spring water and aged in traditional earthenware crocks. The result is an incredibly complex, multi-layered gin that offers a journey through forest, floral, and spicy notes. Packaged in a brown apothecary-style bottle with a hand-drawn label, it is a global benchmark for the artisanal, small-batch gin movement.
