TASTING NOTES 

COLOR: In the glass, Monkey 47 Distiller's Cut 2020 displays a pale, luminous golden hue, reflecting the purity of its ingredients and its meticulous distillation. Its appearance is bright, almost crystalline, like a liquid jewel that invites exploration.

NOSE: As it approaches the glass, the first whisper of aromas is intensely fresh and herbaceous. Citrus notes of juniper intertwine with a delicate floral fragrance, reminiscent of a wild garden in full bloom. As it opens, subtle layers of soft spice and hints of pine emerge, with the distinctive presence of white ash bringing a fresh, slightly earthy air, creating an enveloping complexity.

TASTE: On the palate, the entry is surprisingly balanced: a mix of vibrant freshness and gentle warmth. The initial herbal flavors, typical of juniper and citrus, unfold in harmony with a delicate touch of pepper and spice, adding depth to the experience. As the gin settles, earthy notes of white ash and a hint of spruce resin give way to a long, clean finish that leaves a refreshing, almost crisp sensation, inviting another sip.
