Monkey 47 Sloe Gin 29%, 50cl

Monkey 47 Sloe Gin is a delicate gin with a beautiful reddish-gold hue and a complex aroma of sloe berries and juniper. This gin is based on the well-known Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin, where sloe berries are allowed to steep in the gin for three months. This creates a unique taste experience with notes of juniper and sweet red berries.

Background

The story of Monkey 47 begins with Montgomery Collins, a Royal Air Force pilot who, after his time in India, settled in the Black Forest in southern Germany. There he developed a gin that combined local and Indian ingredients. The recipe was rediscovered in 2008 by The Black Forest Distillers.
