About this deal

Monkey 47 is a Gin brand with a unique history. It's hard to tell if all parts of the story are true or if some bits and pieces are deliberately spread to embellish the legend. Initially made for medicinal purposes, gin gets most of its flavor from the juniper berries added after the distillation process. It sure has come a long way from the Middle Ages, with the introduction of new botanicals, fruits, and spices, bringing it closer to people of all flavor varieties. Babies being dropped, rotting corpses dumped into cheap coffins, houses collapsing, half-naked women slumped senseless in the street. It is an apocalyptic scene. And, fortunately, one that is a long way from the amazing gin scene of today.

Monkey 47 is a beautifully complex spirit, combining various aromas and flavors. It's a fresh and fruity spirit with unexpected yet pleasant nuances. Monkey's Experimentum Series is another limited edition that constantly pushes the boundaries of what is sensorially feasible. It started with 2y01,where the Gin was fat-washed with Kobe Beef. Since then, six more expressions followed. History of Monkey 47 Gin Before we get to that stage, though, it is worth noting the positive boost gin received from its collaboration with tonic, with tonic’s component of quinine a key in the fight against malaria. Who among us has not seen one of those old movies with pith-helmeted colonialists enjoying their evening G&Ts? Enjoyable, sure, but it also worked as a prophylactic against one of the most debilitating diseases in the tropics.Made to an old family recipe where sloes are steeped in Hayman’s Gin for several months before sugar is added. Deliciously fruity with notes of plum and a hint of nuttiness. There’s also Hayman’s Spiced Sloe Gin, which is made using an additional mix of seasonal spices. Expect notes of ginger, plum, peppercorns, jammy strawberry and earthy juniper.

Monkey 47 is a unique gin with a complex flavor profile thanks to a selection of 47 botanicals. It offers notes mint, piney juniper, herbal, and citrus notes all balanced by hints of floral flavors. Learn everything you need to know about Monkey 47 gin. There was a time when it was unthinkable to drink gin straight. These days, there are so many weird and wonderful ones, and such a higher level of quality, that there are plenty which qualify. Yet, even if there are a few question marks behind the story, the quality of the Gin is outstanding. Hi Rod. I honestly have not the slightest idea. Might be worth asking your favourite bartender next time. Reply

Palate: A mix of earthy, tangy juniper with rich, sweet red berries. Very refined and balanced. Hints of almond. Do you like Sloe Gin? Which brand do you prefer? I would love to know how you like to serve yours, so please leave your tips in the comments below. Monkey 47’s impressive dry gin has now been steeped with sloe berries to create a rich liqueur of epic proportions. How to mix: Pour all ingredients over ice, serve in a tumbler and garnish with a twist of orange zest. A good martini is a thing of beauty (gin, not vodka!!). My aunt was convinced sherry was medicinal and literally kept it in the medicine cabinet in the bathroom. Reply
