Monkey 47 Dry Gin is a unique gin made from 47 different botanicals. It is clear, fresh-tasting, herbal and zesty; an award-winning experience.
The fact it hails from the Black Forest in Germany is not the only thing unique about Monkey 47 Dry Gin – it contains cranberries! Overall, 47 different botanicals go into Monkey 47(hence the name). The result is a fresh and zesty, award-winning gin that suggests eucalyptus on the nose, lime and juniper on the palate and a citrus and pine finish.
Monkey 47 was the brainchild of RAF Wing Commander Monty Collins. He retired to the Black Forest after the war and sourced most of the botanicals used in his creation from his back garden. Ever the posh British eccentric, he owned a pet monkey – which can probably account for Monkey 47’s unusual name.

Monkey 47 – Schwarzwald Dry Gin

Admittedly, it appears somewhat eccentric to claim that a recipe of Gin has the power to unite great British traditions, the spices of India and the rich landscape of the Black Forest. And yet it is precisely this eccentricity that defines the enigmatic and venturesome character of Montgomery Collins, from whom our Schwarzwald Dry Gin originates. Monkey 47 - Distilled from 47 predominantly unusual but regional botanicals such as lingonberries and blended with natural spring water. Cheers!

Where the magic happens

Monkey 47 is produced in the Black Forest at a distillery dubbed 'Zum Wilden Affen' (German for 'The Wild Monkey'). At its heart? The ‘Apparatus Alembicus Maximus’, a one-of-a-kind distilling operation assembled solely by hand using time-honoured methods.

Its four copper distilling vessels bear the names of well-known simians. Today, King Louie, Cheetah, Herr Nilsson, and Miss Baker handle the distilling of Monkey 47!
