Gin Monkey 47

Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin 50cl 47% vol. retrieves and updates the recipe for the gin made by the legendary air commander Montgomery "Monty" Collins. Winner in its category in the World Spirits Award and in the International Wine and Spirits of London, the gin has nothing more and nothing less than forty-seven botanists, in which surprises, above the others, the sour cranberry. p>

Black Forest Distillers

In 2006, Alexander Stein was in Detroit when he received a call from a German colleague. During the conversation, he learned the story of Air Commander Montgomery "Monty" Collins, the future grandfather of the Monkey 47 gin.

Fascinated by his story, in 2008 Stein leaves his job and returns to his native land with the aim of finding a master distiller who could turn his dream into reality.

The problem in recreating gin was to retrieve information from the original product, since the reports were very rudimentary and there were no complete recipes. Thanks to the descriptions of different witnesses and the recovery of key botanists such as spruce fruits and cranberries.

Thanks to all the information recovered and the great experience of master distiller Christoph Keller, they manage to recreate the recipe, the rest is history.

In 2015, Stein and Keller worked with Arnold Holstein to develop a new distillery, tailored to the complex distillation process of the Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin.

Elaboration and botanists

The Monkey 47 gin, as its name already suggests, uses 47 botanists. These macerated in French alcohol for 36 hours before starting the distillation. Combining traditional distillation techniques, maceration and using steam to infuse the most volatile botanists, Monkey 47 manages to integrate one of the most complex recipes we can find in a gin.

The list of gin botanists can be divided into three parts, in a first one, those coming from the Black Forest in Germany; Angelica root, acacia flowers, blackberry leaves, cranberry and spruce buds. In a second, those from the Mediterranean; Juniper berries, which are more aromatic than the German and Tuscan. And finally; Six types of pepper, almond, angelica, acacia, calamus, lemon verbena, clove, cinnamon, cilantro, blueberries, elderberry, cubeba, ginger, grains of paradise, hawthorn berries, hibiscus, jasmine, honeysuckle, lime, lavender, lemon, licorice, mondara, nutmeg, lily, red pepper, grapefruit, rosehip, sage, blackthorn, spruce ...
