Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin, 50 cl

Product Information

Mixed with Hansen’s Tonic in a Gin and Tonic, sweet pomelo at first with exotic herb garden notes on the after taste. As the taste progresses, we get peppery, vegetal notes, harmoniously entwined as if a single botanical. Maybe the additional information on the sheer complexity and abundance of the botanicals, and the generosity of its creator toward a kindred primate will persuade me that this is a worthy indulgence.

Monkey 47 Gin - Majestic Wine

In short, although the name “Dog” rose implied that some peoples found the plant worthless, its importance in several food cultures tells a story that’s otherwise. Rosemary, coriander, mint, orange, lemon verbena, wormwood, up top, but with spruce tips and resiny juniper only barely poking through. 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.There’s a lot in here, and I’m not sure any experts are going to agree on the exact list you get here on the nose. There’s so much going on that I have trouble pulling out the individual essences, and I’m considered to have a pretty discerning palate. Palate: Predictably complex, this is a robust and powerful gin with plenty of spice, fruit and herb flavours.

Monkey 47 Gin 50cl - DrinkSupermarket

I have tried many gins since I became obsessed with gin, and I like both the contemporary gins and the Classic gins. A near-psychedelic experience of being conveyed into woodlands, open fields, down the long tables of a greenhouse. The zingy citrus is assertive to taste upfront, but gives way to a rich bouquet of flavours including herbal juniper, juicy lingonberries, sweet liquorice, cardamom and hibiscus-like floral touches. 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.The Gimlet featured plenty of lime, but underneath: blackberry pie, strawberries, and other plump berry like notes jumped to the fore as well.
