Monkey 47 Distiller's Cut Dry Gin 375ml
DescriptionMonkey 47 Distiller's Cut represents the annual creative expression from master distiller Christoph Keller, where one unique botanical is added to the already complex 47-botanical recipe. Each year's edition is different, making every release a collector's item and a window into the distiller's creative process. This 375ml format emphasizes the limited, precious nature of these annual experiments.
The Distiller's Cut concept allows for exploration beyond even Monkey 47's extraordinary complexity. Each year, Keller selects a single botanical that he believes will add something special to the base recipe - perhaps an unusual fruit, a rare herb, or an exotic spice. This 48th botanical isn't revealed immediately, encouraging drinkers to explore and guess what makes that year's edition unique. It's a masterclass in how a single addition can transform an already complex spirit.
Tasting any Distiller's Cut is an exercise in attention and discovery. The familiar Monkey 47 complexity is present - those layers upon layers of botanicals creating near-infinite combinations. But there's something additional, something that makes this edition unique. The mystery botanical might add floral notes, fruity character, or exotic spice, but it's always perfectly integrated, adding to rather than disrupting the base recipe's harmony. Each edition becomes a puzzle for the palate.
The small format is perfect for this limited edition, making it accessible to collectors while preserving its special nature. Whether you're a Monkey 47 completist seeking every expression, a gin enthusiast interested in how single botanicals can transform complex spirits, or someone who appreciates the intersection of creativity and craftsmanship, Distiller's Cut offers a unique opportunity. Each bottle represents a moment in time, a distiller's creative vision captured in 375ml of extraordinary gin.
