30-Day Guarantee

Monkey 47 Sloe Gin unites Britain’s sloe-gin tradition with Black Forest precision. The cult Schwarzwald gin—built on 47 botanicals—meets wild, hand-picked sloe berries to create a vivid, ruby spirit layered with hedgerow fruit, spice and pine. Elegant neat, luxurious in cocktails, and presented in its apothecary bottle, it’s a standout gift for discerning palates.

Tasting Notes & Experience

Bright hedgerow aromas rise—ripe plum, tart blackberry and juniper resin—threaded with citrus peel and winter spice. The palate is silken and generous: sweet red fruits unfurl over pine, cassia and ginger, balanced by a nimble, mouth-watering tang. A gentle almond note nods to the stone fruit, before a long, refreshing finish where sloe, citrus and dry botanicals linger.

Cocktail Pairings

Its bright berry core and piney backbone shine in a classic Sloe Gin Fizz, while a Charlie Chaplin brings silky stone-fruit lift. Try a Sloe Negroni for bittersweet depth, a Black Forest Bramble with muddled berries, or a celebratory Sloe Royale topped with dry sparkling wine. For a gingery kick, the Monkey Mule layers sloe, lime and ginger beer beautifully.

Craftsmanship & Story

Inspired by RAF veteran Montgomery Collins and revived by Black Forest Distillers, Monkey 47 marries British gin heritage with Schwarzwald botanicals and pristine spring water. The Dry Gin base—built from 47 botanicals—meets a harvest of wild sloes for a fruit-led, aromatic expression that retains the house’s famed complexity and precision.

Special Features

A rare combination of a 47-botanical base and wild Black Forest sloe berries delivers both intensity and poise. Natural fruit colour and a plush 29% ABV make it luxuriously smooth yet vibrant in mixed drinks. Finished in the brand’s cult apothecary bottle, it’s as design-forward as it is delicious—equally at home on the back bar or the gift table.

Recognition & Accolades

Celebrated by judges and bartenders, Monkey 47 Sloe Gin continues to earn high-profile recognition:

  • Country Winner (Germany) – World Gin Awards 2025
  • Gold – World Gin Awards 2021
  • Silver – International Spirits Challenge 2019 (Gin Based)

These accolades underscore its benchmark status for modern, fruit-led gin.

Food Pairing

Pair with dark chocolate torte to amplify cocoa and berry tones, or a blue-cheese tart for a salty-sweet contrast. Game terrine with juniper jelly mirrors the gin’s woodland spice, while duck with cherry glaze flatters its red-fruit core. Almond frangipane or lemon posset echo the marzipan and citrus notes for a polished, dessert-ready finish.
