Blended using an astonishing 47 botanicals from Germany’s Black Forest, along with molasses alcohol and pure spring water, Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Gin is among the purest, tastiest, and most potent booze choices out there. The recipe is lifted from that of a British commander who moved to Germany to make watches, but made a whole lot of moonshine instead. Now that’s cool backstory if ever we heard one. Cheers!
