Monkey 47 - Sloe Gin 50cl Bottle

Product Description

Limited stock. Very attractive nose with typical London Gin characters & distinct Juniper & pepper notes. Crisp, fresh & fruity on the nose & equally so in the mouth. Some tangy notes in the mouth add extra freshness to the traditional characteristics. Extremely complex full bodied. Monkey 47 gets its unrivalled complexity & quality from its 47 handpicked plant ingredients, of which a third come from the Black Forest, such as spruce, elderflower, blackthorn, bramble leaves & fresh cranberries. Distilled in small batches, this Schwarzwald sloe gin is a true Monkey 47, but nevertheless a whole different one. This masterfully handcrafted & unfiltered sloe gin is unique in its complexity whilst reflecting great British traditions & the wildness of the Black Forest. The quality of ingredients is fully brought to bear through a masterful & complex distillation process involving both steam extraction & distillation of the macerate. Monkey 47 is then matured for three months in traditional earthenware containers, in which the distillate develops greater balance as it reacts with oxygen. After maturing, the distillate is diluted with extremely soft Black Forest spring water to the drinkable strength of 47 per cent & is put through a sheet filter, but to preserve its full character it does not undergo cold-stabilisation.
