Ever the posh British eccentric, he owned a pet monkey – which can probably account for Monkey 47’s unusual name. Like the Glock pistol, there is a seeming cult of afficionados that are loyalists until the day they die.

In total, 47 handpicked plant ingredients prepared in extremely soft water from the Black Forest lend Monkey 47 unrivaled complexity and quality. On the meadows around the old farmstead, Happle noticed the huge quantities of spignel plants, remaking that they smelt similar to Gin. Having arrived in Berlin after the end of the war and taken up his post in the administration of the British sector, Commander Collins was profoundly affected by the extent of the destruction of the capital and so resolved to support the reconstruction of Germany in his free time. As the taste progresses, we get peppery, vegetal notes, harmoniously entwined as if a single botanical. but when you’re talking about 47 separate flavors in one beverage, it’s a bit overwhelming for just about anyone.Collins combined this history with his interest in gin and what he created - Schwarzwald Dry Gin - became the trademark spirit for the guesthouse until the 1970s. On botanicals alone, boasting an ostentatious 47, it might be the most complicated gin on the market, but to throw you one more curveball, it’s also built on a base spirit of molasses. You see, this Commander also helped rebuild the world-famous Berlin zoo, and during the course of this he came to support Max, an egret monkey, who lived in the zoo. I suspect that at some point I will be convinced to reward myself, maybe on some very special occasion or life threshold. Driven by his desire to learn the art of watch making, Collins moved to the Northern Black Forest region.

Monkey 47 Dry Gin | Master of Malt

It’s nicely blended with a lot of hints of clues; rabbit holes of aroma that can be explored only to come up empty with a vague “floral” or “fruity” admission. Don’t just try it when you come across it, seek it out as if you haven’t tasted it yet, you’re definitely missing out.Pungent and surprisingly fruity, this was a really interesting drink that showcased Monkey 47 in an unexpected way.

For that reason, we shouldn’t be mistaken for typical “spirits producers” or “liquor entrepreneurs”; we are schnapps distillers to the core and, like a perfumer, constantly on the hunt for aromas and fragrances. With only rudimental records and no original recipe, just descriptions of eyewitnesses and a few key facts such as the use of spruce fruits, classical gin ingredients and lingonberries, the pair decided to recreate the gin as best they could.The critique that can be fairly made of this gin is that it might be too contemporary and note enough juniper happening.
