Monkey 47
Schwarzwald Dry Gin
Specification
Bottle — 500 ml
Dry and dense at 47%. Juniper leads, then a bright citrus lift and a long peppery, resinous finish that stays sweet rather than sharp. The Schwarzwald name points to forest fruit and pine, and the palate follows: dark berry edge under the spice, wrapped in a thick, warming texture from the high strength.
Serve — suggested, not sourced
Tonic — Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water, 1:2 — the 47% ABV takes the dilution without thinning
Garnish — A twist of lemon peel

Why this gin — The Schwarzwald gin's forest-pine depth and 47% backbone hold their shape against equal parts vermouth and bitter, where a 40% gin would vanish.
