Monkey 47 Sloe Gin is a unique spirit made in the Black Forest region of Germany. The history of the brand dates back to the late 1940s, when British Air Force officer Montgomery "Monty" Collins started making his own sloe gin. Monty's recipes were passed down to his son, who eventually founded Monkey 47 Distillery. The region where Monkey 47 Sloe Gin is produced is renowned for its natural beauty and diverse wildlife. The Black Forest is home to many different types of trees, including the sloe berry tree from which the gin gets its name. The region's climate and soil are perfect for growing these berries, which are then hand-picked and used to make the gin. Monkey 47 Sloe Gin has a distinctively complex flavor, with notes of juniper, citrus, and spice. The gin is bottled at 47% ABV, making it one of the strongest sloe gins on the market. This high proof allows the gin to retain its flavor and aroma for longer periods of time. Monkey 47 Sloe Gin is perfect for enjoying neat or in cocktails. It can be enjoyed on its own or mixed with other spirits to create unique and delicious drinks. Whether you're a fan of sloe gin or looking to try something new, Monkey 47 Sloe Gin is a must-try spirit.
