Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin Miniature

Monkey 47

Monkey 47 Gin is a super-premium gin produced by Schwarzwald Distillers in the Black Forest region of Germany. Monkey 47 is inspired by the eccentric British airman Montgomery Collins, and is said to have the “power to unite great British traditions, the spices of India, and the rich landscape of the Black Forest”. Collins lived as the son of a diplomat in India and after his RAF career made a home for himself in the Black Forest. This provided the autobiographical background for Schwarzwald Distillers’ recipe for Monkey 47, which unusually combines Black Forest herbs and berries, and exotic Asian botanicals.
