MONKEY 47 GIN BARREL CUT

Monkey 47 Barrel Cut: Aged Elegance, Schwarzwald Distinction

• Region: Germany – Monkey 47 Gin Barrel Cut is crafted in the Black Forest, Germany, using a carefully selected blend of 47 botanicals, which gives it a complex and distinctive profile. The Barrel Cut version is uniquely aged in wooden casks, adding depth and richness to its character.

• Maturation: Aged – Unlike the original Monkey 47 Gin, the Barrel Cut version undergoes maturation in oak casks, which imparts an additional layer of warmth and complexity, with hints of spice and wood.

• Color: Amber – The gin’s color is a deep amber, reflecting the time spent maturing in barrels, offering a more intense hue compared to the traditional clear gin.

• Aroma: The nose is rich and aromatic, with an initial burst of juniper followed by deeper notes of oak, vanilla, and a subtle smokiness. The maturation in barrels adds a touch of dried fruit and a gentle spiciness that adds complexity.

• Palate: On the palate, Monkey 47 Barrel Cut presents a rich and full-bodied flavor profile. The typical floral and herbal notes of juniper and botanicals are complemented by warming wood and spice, with subtle hints of citrus and dark fruit. The oak influence rounds out the flavor, making it more refined and deeper.

• Finish: The finish is long and smooth, with lingering wood and spice notes that leave a warm, satisfying sensation. The complexity of the barrel-aging process is evident, providing a rich and memorable aftertaste.

• Texture: Monkey 47 Gin Barrel Cut has a silky texture with a more robust mouthfeel compared to the original. The barrel aging lends a smoothness and richness, making it perfect for sipping neat or in cocktails that highlight its unique flavor profile.
