Monkey 47 Distiller's Cut Edition Schwarzwald Acer Saccharum Dry Gin 375 ml

Discover Monkey 47 Distiller's Cut Edition Schwarzwald Acer Saccharum Dry Gin 375ml, the 2023 release of Monkey 47's celebrated annual Distiller's Cut series. Produced in Germany's Black Forest by Black Forest Distillers, this highly sought-after limited edition builds upon the iconic Monkey 47 recipe by introducing a carefully selected 48th botanical each year. For the 2023 edition, Master Distiller Christoph Keller chose Acer saccharum (maple syrup) sourced from Québec, Canada, adding an elegant layer of sweetness and complexity to the gin's already intricate botanical profile.

Like the classic Monkey 47, this expression begins with the brand's signature blend of 47 botanicals, Black Forest spring water, and meticulous small-batch distillation. The addition of maple syrup during the distillation process enhances the gin with subtle caramelized sweetness while preserving its unmistakable juniper-forward structure and remarkable botanical depth. Each Distiller's Cut is produced only once, making it a prized release among collectors and gin enthusiasts worldwide.

Bottled at 47% ABV (94 Proof) and presented in a 375ml bottle, Monkey 47 Distiller's Cut 2023 delivers aromas of fresh juniper, citrus peel, herbs, and gentle maple sweetness. The palate reveals layered botanicals, warming spice, forest herbs, citrus, and delicate maple notes before a long, dry, and exceptionally complex finish. It is best enjoyed neat, in a Martini, or with premium tonic to fully appreciate its unique character.
