Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin

The bouquet shows intense aromas of black pepper, lemon peel and juniper in the opening pass. Later inhalations detect hints of orris root, cinnamon and chamomile tea. The palate follows through with robust flavours of liquorice root, cardamom, background juniper and a warming, vibrant, peppery finish with late juniper and liquorice through the aftertaste. A flavourful, spicy style.

Incomparable complexity and quality by the use of 47 hand-graded vegetable ingredients, extremely soft Black Forest spring water as well as - and this is the whole point - fresh cranberries. In a masterly manner distilled and matured in traditional earthenware vessels. The eccentric formula of the original inventor of the Black Forest Dry Gin, Montgomery Collins, is the basis for Monkey 47. Its childhood as a diplomat son in Eastern Asia, its military career in the destroyed Berlin and the late adopted country in the Black Forest form the autobiographical background for a formula which represents a foolhardy combination from indigenous herbs and berries of the Black Forest as well as exotic botanicals from the Asian room.
