Tasting Notes
"There's a light golden color to the gin due to the Mizunara oak aging. This gives the gin an overall gentle woodsy aroma. But this is still a gin, and a very aromatic gin at that. Fans of the standard Monkey 47 will still find the mix of fruity (especially citrus) and floral aspects as well sweet spices such as coriander. What's unique about what Monkey 47 is they get the balance right. Despite the number of botanicals, and now the wood aging, the gin is in harmonious balance and not a muddied mess. Also, the juniper is very much present which makes all the other botanicals able to have their moment to shine. Every sip reveals a new botanical flavor. You could easily sip this as you would a whiskey, particularly on cold evenings. "
