Black Forest Distillery –
Gin from the Black Forest with 47 botanicals
Deep in the Black Forest , near Loßburg, the Black Forest Distillery distills a gin that has fundamentally changed the world of spirits: Monkey 47. The number stands for 47 carefully selected botanicals – including local herbs, berries, and roots from the region, complemented by international ingredients such as cranberry and acacia. The result is not a run-of-the-mill gin, but a distillate with true depth: resinous, fruity, with a subtle peppery finish.
The base is molasses alcohol, combined with soft water from the Black Forest – both of which noticeably shape the character. Besides the classic dry gin, the range includes sloe gin with its dark sloe berries and the annually limited-edition Distiller's Cuts. The latter experiment with 48 botanicals and are aimed at those who want to not only drink gin, but also understand it.
Monkey 47 is delicious neat on the rocks, as well as in a Gin & Tonic with a neutral tonic water that doesn't overpower the botanicals. For those who want to fully experience the gin's complexity, it's best enjoyed slightly chilled, on its own.
