ABOUT MONKEY 47
"MONKEY 47" is a gin brand produced in a distillery in the Black Forest, Germany, which boasts world-class distillation technology and rich natural surroundings. It uses 47 kinds of botanicals, is unfiltered, and is aged in earthenware, resulting in a unique and complex aroma.
It all started with a British man, Montgomery Collins. After moving to the Black Forest and finding himself in an environment rich in natural spring water and rare herbs, he developed an interest in making gin, the most British drink, and created his own recipe. The name "Monkey 47" comes from the fact that he helped rebuild the Berlin Zoo as part of the reconstruction efforts, and sponsored an East Indian rhesus monkey named Max.
In the Japanese market, we sell "MONKEY 47 DRY GIN" and "MONKEY 47 SLOE GIN."

Through masterly distillation and maturing in traditional earthenware containers, the goodness of all 47 hand-picked ingredients is brought fully to bear. Admittedly, it appears somewhat eccentric to claim that a recipe for Gin has the power to unite great British traditions, with the spices of India, and the rich landscape of the Black Forest. And yet it is precisely this eccentricity that defines the enigmatic venturesome character of Montgomery Collins, from whom our Schwarzwald Dry Gin originates. Aficionados, bartenders and connoisseurs the world over have come to appreciate the incredible complexity and harmony of a gin, which has consistently been voted the No.1 Top Trending Gin brand in the World's Best Bars.
