Monkey 47 Gin 750ML

Overview

Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin 750ML is the cult-classic “high-definition” gin: intense juniper, crisp citrus, floral lift, and a peppery, resin-tinged finish at a bold 47% ABV.

Hamptons Tasting Notes
Bright grapefruit peel and piney juniper lead, followed by lavender-like florals, minty herbs, and a faint berry note. The palate is silky and full-flavored, finishing long with spice, subtle bitter fruit, and a racy snap.
