Monkey 47 Gin Launches Their 12th Distiller’s Cut

Handcrafted Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin blends the best of British gin-making traditions, Indian spices, and the purity of the Black Forest. With one-third of the ingredients coming from the Black Forest, this gin has unparalleled complexity and quality due to its 47 handpicked botanicals. Monkey 47 never stops trying to find the perfect 48th ingredient for its highly sought-after Distiller’s Cut limited-edition gin, with its 12th release already out in the market.

This year’s Distiller’s Cut features Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin with the addition of Woodruff, a pungent aroma found in The Black Forest. The coumarin flavour of Woodruff brings a spicy and elegant taste experience to the renowned gin, with delicate top notes of cinnamon and vanilla, and a base of depth and complexity.
