About Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin
The Black Forest area is famous for producing some of the world’s finest fruit liqueurs. When Commander Montgomery “Monty” Collins of the Royal Air Force was discharged in 1951 and moved to the area, he perfected the recipe for his very own gin, which became the signature spirit served at The Wild Monkey until the 1970s. Upon hearing this story, Alexander Stein set out to replicate the mythical spirit, using botanicals from the Black Forest and India. A whopping 47 botanicals in total go into Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Gin, including lingonberries, hand-peeled citrus fruits, herbs, flowers, and spices. While the sheer botanical count screams “contemporary,” the distilling methods are rooted in tradition. It’s this blend of modernity and tradition that has made Monkey 47 so beloved, earning the spirit critical acclaim and a devoted fan base.

About Gin
According to Winston Churchill, “The gin and tonic has saved more Englishmen’s lives and minds than all the doctors in the Empire,” referring to the British officers using it to treat malaria in India.
Initially made for medicinal purposes, gin gets most of its flavor from the juniper berries added after the distillation process. It sure has come a long way from the Middle Ages, with the introduction of new botanicals, fruits, and spices, bringing it closer to people of all flavor varieties.

The construction was flawless, providing a smooth, even burn and a satisfying smoking experience from start to finish.
