Created by Alexander Stein in 2006, Monkey 47 Gin is a name that has travelled the world. While there are dozens of botanicals, there’s an obvious lime-like note to start, followed by lingonberry, juniper and sweet woodruff leading to subtle pepper.
Use Indian Tonic and either a sprig of lavender to bring out the floral qualities, or a handful of cranberries to highlight that sour, juicy heart. Try it in a Marini with a lemon zest, and if making a Negroni, opt for a lighter style of vermouth.
With so many botanicals included, it’s a complex process to make Monkey 47. They use a combination of steeping, pot and vapour, some fresher ingredients, some dried ones and a series of stills all in full swing to make enough liquid to meet demand.
Monkey 47 was bought by Pernod Ricard a few years ago, who thankfully decided to do the best thing possible for such a disruptive, much-loved and dynamic offering – just let them crack on doing what they’ve always done!
Made in the Black Forest in Germany, the distillery set-up is one of the most impressive in Germany. The gin they make is about more than just reflecting their location though, with an international mindset the intent from the very start.
Monkey 47 Sloe Gin is the cult German brand's take on the classic fruit infusion. At 29% ABV, and a perfect mix of red fruit, almond-like stone and sweetness, one that would please many.
