Welcome to the wunderbar world of MONKEY 47! Enjoy responsibly. Do not forward to anyone below legal drinking age. The story begins in 2006, when Alexander Stein, heir to a traditional brandy dynasty and former Nokia manager, discovered a curious gin recipe from the Black Forest. At the heart of it was the tale of Monty Collins, a British RAF officer who, after the war, settled in the Black Forest. Inspired by his time in Berlin and a monkey named Max, he began crafting a gin that blended British traditions with the natural bounty of the region. In 2008, Stein returned to Baden-Württemberg and founded Black Forest Distillers. His mission was to revive the spirit of Collins’ creation. Using 47 handpicked botanicals, soft spring water and traditional distilling methods, MONKEY 47 was born. The result is a gin of remarkable complexity and clarity, full of floral notes, fresh citrus, rich juniper and a touch of lingonberry. Bottled in vintage apothecary glass and sealed with care, it is a tribute to craft, curiosity and the wild charm of the Black Forest.
