woody, vegetable smells under pin fresh grassy citrus notes and botanical sweetness, like a pine forest after the rain. If you have joined us after the exclusive release you’ll receive your bottle within 2-5 working days. Most of the time this is to your advantage, though sometimes you’ll find a combination that isn’t so great. Another is made with handpicked sloe berries picked off the forest floor, while the third’s a barrel-cut gin that’s aged in Mulberry Casks – take it from us, it makes a mean Old Fashioned. More Bowler than Bollenhut and Turban this masterfully handcrafted and unfiltered Barrel Cut is unique in its complexity and yet accentuates great British traditions.

Hailing from the Black Forest in Germany, this intriguing and complex dry gin is made with 47 botanicals (as its name suggests). Founded in 2010, Monkey 47 was born from a 1950s recipe by British Air Force Wing Commander Montgomery Collins in the Black Forest's "Wild Monkey" guesthouse. When you proceed to checkout, there is a box which allows you to add a personal message to your Monkey 47 Gin Gift Set. Admittedly, it appears somewhat eccentric to claim that a recipe for Gin has the power to unite great British traditions, with the spices of India, and the rich landscape of the Black Forest.

This beautiful gin gift set consists of a 50cl bottle of Monkey 47 gin, alongside your choice of either one of our Dartington Crystal Ice and a Slice branded gin and tonic balloon glasses or a hiball glass. Beautiful presentation: Every single hamper is carefully assembled and gift-wrapped by hand, so it's guaranteed to delight and impress. Predictably complex, this is a robust and powerful gin with plenty of spice, fruit and herb flavours. Whether you drink it straight or use it as a base for cocktails, it brings out its harmonious and decisive knowledge.

His childhood as the son of a diplomat in East Asia, his military career among the ruins of Berlin, and his late-adopted home in the Black Forest supply the autobiographical background for a recipe that represents an audacious combination of native Black Forest herbs and berries and exotic Asian botanicals.

However please note this is not a guaranteed service and delays can occasionally occur beyond our control. The barrel gin has a fantastic kick to it too and the sloe gin isn't as sweet as I thought it would be but still very drinkable! Crafted with 47 handpicked botanicals including tangy lingonberries it’s a peppery delight loved by connoisseurs and bartenders throughout the world. This recipe was created from the great Black Forest tradition of distilling fruit and – out of a longing for Collins' own British passions – gin. Think along the lines of the Martini, Gin and Tonic and Gimlet - classics that are all about the gin.
