Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Sloe Gin 29% 0,5 l

Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Sloe Gin is an exceptional sloe gin from Germany’s Black Forest that combines the character of the iconic Monkey 47 Dry Gin with the fruity depth of wild sloes. It is created through a long maceration of sloe berries in Monkey 47 gin, whose recipe contains up to 47 botanicals.

The result is a ruby-colored drink with a rich fruit profile, a distinct juniper base, a subtle earthiness, and a light almond note. Thanks to its 29% alcohol content, it has a smoother profile than classic dry gin, yet retains the complexity, spiciness, and distinctive character of the Monkey 47 brand.

About the Monkey 47 brand:

Monkey 47 is a premium German gin brand from the Black Forest (Schwarzwald), known for its exceptional complexity and signature style based on 47 hand-picked botanicals and very soft spring water from the region.

The story behind the brand is based on the legend of Montgomery Collins, a British officer who moved to the Black Forest after the war, opened the Zum wilden Affen guesthouse, and laid the foundation for the recipe for the unusual Black Forest gin; the "47" motif refers both to the number of botanicals and to the year 1947, which is associated with this story.

The gin itself is produced at The Wild Monkey Distillery in the Black Forest, and the brand is based on batch distillation, a craft approach, and a typical combination of juniper, citrus, floral notes, spices, and subtle fruitiness.

The producer is Black Forest Distillers, and since 2016, Monkey 47 has been part of the Pernod Ricard group, which acquired a majority stake at that time and later purchased the remaining shares.
