Monkey 47 Dry Gin
Schwarzwald Dry Gin | 47% ABV (94 Proof) | 375mL & 750mL | 47 Botanicals | Black Forest, Germany
Process & Profile
Monkey 47 Dry Gin is a highly distinctive German gin produced in the Black Forest, also known as the Schwarzwald. The name reflects one of the gin’s defining features: it is made with 47 botanicals and bottled at 47% ABV. This combination gives Monkey 47 a bold, complex profile that stands apart from more traditional London Dry-style gins.
The recipe brings together classic gin structure with unusual regional botanicals from the Black Forest. Juniper remains central, but the gin also incorporates ingredients such as lingonberries, spruce, sloe berries, elderflower, bramble leaves, citrus peel, herbs, flowers, and spices. The botanicals are prepared with soft regional water and the gin is matured in traditional earthenware vessels, helping create a layered and polished final spirit.
Monkey 47 Dry Gin is especially popular with gin drinkers and bartenders because it delivers multiple flavor dimensions at once: citrus, juniper, forest herbs, florals, spice, fruit, and subtle bitterness. For customers looking for a premium gin for martinis, gin and tonics, Negronis, Gibsons, or elevated cocktails, Monkey 47 is one of the most recognizable modern craft gin options.

For classic cocktails, use Monkey 47 in a Gibson, Vesper, Gimlet, Negroni, or Bee’s Knees when you want the gin itself to remain expressive. Because this gin is complex and aromatic, it performs best in cocktails with simple supporting ingredients that allow the botanicals to stand out.
