Monkey 47 Distiller's Cut 2023

Description

Monkey 47 Distiller's Cut 2023 is an exclusive, limited edition of the iconic Schwarzwald Dry Gin from Germany. Every year, the distillery enriches the recipe with a carefully selected 48th botanical ingredient. For the 2023 edition, Acer saccharum was chosen – high-quality organic maple syrup from Quebec, Canada. This special addition gives the gin a subtle, refined sweetness without losing the character of the classic Monkey 47.

With its unprecedented complexity, 47 carefully selected botanicals, and an artisanal distillation process, this Distiller's Cut is a true journey of discovery for the connoisseur of exceptional gins. The result is an elegant and layered gin in which spicy, floral, and fresh citrus aromas harmoniously blend with a refined touch of caramel and maple syrup. Tasting Notes

Nose
Intense and aromatic with fresh notes of pine needles, juniper, citrus zest, and wild herbs. Behind these, soft accents of caramel, light maple syrup, and subtle spiciness unfold.

Taste
Rich and perfectly balanced. Powerful juniper and spicy botanicals are followed by vibrant citrus, floral nuances, and a refined sweet undertone of maple syrup. The sweetness remains elegant and supports the complexity without overpowering it.

Finish
Long, warm, and refined with lingering notes of herbs, citrus, soft caramel, and a delicate hint of maple syrup that slowly fades.

Serving suggestion
Preferably neat or with a large ice cube to allow the layered aromas to fully come into their own. Also excellent in a premium Gin & Tonic with a neutral tonic, garnished with a twist of orange peel or a sprig of rosemary.
