A sloe gin made by macerating handpicked sloe berries from the Black Forest, with an alcohol content of 29%. The vibrant aroma beautifully blends fruit notes with juniper. Cranberry is the key flavor, offering a subtle sweetness, making it perfect for cocktails.
The name "Monkey 47" comes from Montgomery Collins, a British man who created the recipe. After World War II, he contributed to Germany’s recovery by helping rebuild the Berlin Zoo and becoming the sponsor of an East Indian rhesus monkey named Max.

About the producer: Monkey 47 is a premium gin crafted in a distillery located in the Black Forest of Germany, 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 British man Montgomery Collins, who, after moving to the Black Forest and being surrounded by natural springs and rare herbs, developed an interest in creating gin—the most quintessentially British drink. He went on to create his own unique recipe. The name "Monkey 47" originates from Collins’ efforts to support the post-war reconstruction of the Berlin Zoo, where he became the sponsor of a monkey named Max.
