Probably the best gin I've ever tasted, far too good to mix. I did a a little project two years ago where I tasted 28 different gins from the regulars to the exotic. For a G&T, Beefeater 47%, Tanqueray & Bombay Sapphire came tops in the standard category, The Botanist, Hendrick's and Sipsmith's were my top three in the specials, but The Monkey 47 took it by a country mile in the super premium category. Pricey, but wow!
