Monkey 47 Distillers Cut Fleur De Sel Dry Gin 375 ml

Monkey 47 Distiller's Cut "Fleur de Sel" is the 15th annual edition of the Black Forest distillery's limited series, each year built around a new "species rara" botanical added to the brand's 47-ingredient recipe. This edition adds fleur de sel sea salt crystals hand-harvested from the Camargue marshes in southern France, making it the 48th botanical in this specific batch. Bottled at 47% ABV. The salinity comes through immediately alongside juniper, cardamom, and lemon peel, with licorice, sesame, and dried citrus peel layered underneath, plus a touch of raspberry and peach. It finishes greener and more peppery than the standard Monkey 47. This is a gin for people who already know the brand and want to taste the salt's effect on the base recipe. Pour it neat over ice or in a simple gin and tonic.

How to drink Monkey 47 Distiller's Cut

A gin and tonic with a light hand on the tonic lets the fleur de sel salinity actually register — too much quinine buries it. It's also worth tasting neat over one cube first, since the salt-juniper interplay is easy to miss once it's diluted.
