History,
The story of the Monkey is a huge part of the “legend” of this gin. How much is real, how much is fiction, I can’t honestly say. But it makes for a pretty good backstory for this gin. It’s the story of a man named Montgomery Collins who was the child of a diplomat and traveled to exotic places before joining the British air force, and having his own adventures. Eventually he settled in the Black Forest of Germany, took over the WIld Monkey Inn, and learned the art of local distilling. And even producing his own signature gin - which became the trademark of his own inn. It’s a story of travel, adventure, and exotic experiences. Which eventually inspired this gin from Germany’s Black Forest.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: woody, vegetable smells under pin fresh grassy citrus notes and botanical sweetness, like a pine forest after the rain.
Palate: Predictably complex, this is a robust and powerful gin with plenty of spice, fruit and herb flavours. It's very well structured, and difficult to unpick but a citrus fresh start segues into pine and wood notes for a drying finish.
