Elaboration
Gin Monkey 47 combines the great British traditions, the exoticism of India, and the native purity of the German Black Forest. And yet, it is precisely this eccentricity that defines the enigmatic character of Montgomery Collins, the origin of Gin Schwarzwald. His childhood as the son of a diplomat in East Asia, his military career among the ruins of Berlin, and his home in the Black Forest provide the autobiographical background for a recipe that represents a bold combination of herbs and native berries from this lush forest and exotic Asian botanicals. Obtained through double distillation of grains plus a 3rd with the botanicals, and aged in clay vessels.
It is the gin that currently uses the most botanicals in its production. According to the manufacturer, there are 47 botanicals infused, highlighting fresh blueberry as one of the notes.

Recommendation for Consumption
Gin Monkey 47 is not an easy gin to mix due to its great blend of aromas, therefore, it is best to accompany it with traditional elements: premium tonic (for example, 1724), lemon, and plenty of ice. It should be kept away from intense lights and in places with a cool and constant temperature, in an upright position.
