An unusual gin from the Black Forest in Germany, Monkey 47 contains a unique ingredient, cranberries. The 47 comes from the number of botanicals that go into this unique gin, and the fact it's bottled at a healthy 47%. This plethora of ingredients has paid off, and in 2011 Monkey 47 won the World Spirits Award Gold in the Gin category and Gold for best in class for the Gin Worldwide at the International Wine and Spirits Competition in London. Predictably complex, this is a robust and powerful gin with plenty of spice, fruit and herb flavors, very well structured, with a drying finish. The 94 proof is a “distiller’s cut,” a one-of-a-kind version, only 4,000 bottles of which are produced annually. The 2018 version added the leaves of red mustard cress to the basic combination of botanicals, making for a piquant yet elegant dry gin with delicate green top notes that make for great complexity and density.
