A premium gin from Schwarzwald, Black Forrest, Germany. Spurred on by an oft-cited herbal curiosity, but even more so by a well-nigh obsessive pursuit of the highest-possible quality, Black Forest Distillers embark on botanical expeditions each year. In 2019, the journey led them into the very depths of the Black Forest on a hunt for … spruce shoots! One in three of the botanicals in Monkey 47 are locally sourced from the Black Forest, and spruce shoots are one of them. Along with the typical resinous note you’d expect to find, they contain a tangy bit of limonene that gives Monkey 47 its fresh citrus aroma.
