Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin 750ml
Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin is crafted in Germany's Black Forest, named for both its 47 hand-picked botanicals and its 47% ABV bottling strength. A third of the botanicals are sourced directly from the Black Forest region itself, including spruce, lingonberries, elderflower, blackthorn, and bramble leaves, alongside classic gin staples like juniper, coriander, and citrus peel. Many ingredients, including bitter orange, lemon, and pomelo peels, are used fresh rather than dried, hand-peeled locally each morning before being macerated in molasses-based neutral spirit and soft Black Forest spring water.
