Schwarzwald Distillers, Monkey 47 Dry Gin

Schwarzwald Distillers approaches Monkey 47 Dry Gin not as mere spirit production, but as a dedicated pursuit of aromatic complexity, reflecting a perfumer's precision. Its distinct character is anchored in the Black Forest, utilizing the region's exceptionally soft spring water and integrating approximately one-third of its 47 hand-picked botanicals from the local flora, such as lingonberries and spruce. The gin undergoes a meticulous production process involving both maceration and steam extraction, followed by a unique 100-day maturation in porous earthenware vessels. This extended resting period facilitates a controlled oxidation, developing the distillate's unparalleled suppleness and structural harmony. The result is a profoundly complex dry gin, exhibiting a robust aromatic presence and a rich, balanced texture defined by its intricate botanical composition.
