About the producer: Monkey 47 is a premium gin crafted in a distillery located in the Black Forest of Germany, an area known for its world-class distillation techniques and rich natural environment. Made using 47 botanicals, it is unfiltered and aged in earthenware, resulting in a distinctive and complex aroma. It all began with a British man, Montgomery Collins, who moved to the Black Forest and found himself surrounded by natural spring water and a wealth of rare herbs. This sparked his interest in creating a gin, the most quintessentially British drink. The name "Monkey 47" originates from Collins’ efforts to support the post-war reconstruction of Berlin Zoo, where he became a sponsor for a monkey named Max.
