Monkey 47 Distiller's Cut is the annual limited release from Black Forest Distillers — the standard Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Gin recipe with one additional botanical selected each year by the distiller, adding a 48th botanical that varies vintage to vintage and produces a gin that is immediately recognizable as Monkey 47 while carrying a new layer of character unique to that year's release.
The Distiller's Cut concept reflects Alexander Stein's ongoing botanical experimentation in the Black Forest: after mastering the 47-botanical recipe, each year's Cut explores what a single additional, carefully chosen botanical adds to the existing framework. The result is a gin that rewards the collector and the enthusiast simultaneously — the core Monkey 47 complexity fully present, with a new aromatic or flavor dimension overlaid. The 375ml format makes it accessible as an annual addition to a collection. Like all Monkey 47, it is produced at the distillery in Loßburg using Black Forest botanicals macerated in neutral grain spirit before distillation in a traditional Arnold Holstein still, bottled at the signature 47% ABV.

Frequently Asked Questions
What changes in the Distiller's Cut each year?
One additional botanical beyond the standard 47 — selected by the distiller each vintage. The base recipe and all 47 standard botanicals remain constant; only the 48th botanical changes, adding a new aromatic layer unique to each year's release.
Is the gin otherwise the same as standard Monkey 47?
Yes — the core 47-botanical Schwarzwald recipe, 47% ABV, and Black Forest production are unchanged; the Cut simply overlays one extra annual botanical.
How should I serve it?
Like standard Monkey 47 — best neat or in a very dry Martini or a G&T with a light tonic so the botanical complexity comes through.
