Monkey 47 Gin USA BOTANICALS: Wild BilberriesMonkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin is distilled from a huge 47 botanicals and has high ABV of 47%. It is distilled in the Black Forest Germany from molasses instead of grain and has complex flavours although it seems to be quite citrusy central. The story goes that this recipe can be traced back to a former British RAF officer, Wing Commander Montgomery Collins who in the 1950's went to live in the Black Forest with the dream of being a watchmaker.
