About Gin and Genever from Germany

About Gin and Genever from Germany
The spirits industry is a strong and varied one in Germany. Most famous are the brandies and eau-de-vie, made from fruits such as cherry, pear and apple. The term schnapps can refer to an eau-de-vie or it can simply mean a strong alcoholic drink. There are also vodkas (flavored and unflavored), London-style gins and whiskeys produced in Germany. Most are consumed locally; few are exported outside Europe.

Monkey 47
13th Edition Distiller's Cut Schwarzwald Dry Gin
A real velvet hammer that holds the proof well and then explodes in a never ending bouquet of fruits and flowers; how it borders on leaning a tad too sweet but doesn't fall off the rails as it maintains balance with some savory and bitter components in the background is no less than spectacular.

Monkey 47
13th Edition Distiller's Cut Gin
Upfront a very fruity and floral Gin but then hits with a lingering savory and herbaceous quality; enjoy this exceptional Gin with a strawberry and arugula salad with toasted nuts, citrus, and fresh garden herbs.

Monkey 47
Schwarzwald Dry Gin
Intense and floral with tons of fun and unique flavors that would absolutely pop with the bitterness of vermouth or the sweetness of citrus; just waiting to be turned into a dry Martini.
