Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a contemporary gin from Germany's Black Forest, made by Black Forest Distillers on a grain-based spirit carrying 47 botanicals, and bottled at 47% ABV (94 proof). That number is more than a gimmick. The glass opens with juniper, citrus, and floral notes, then moves into herbal and spice layers of angelica root, coriander, and cardamom, with bright citrus and fruit keeping it balanced. The finish is rich and warm, and it lingers. It suits the drinker who already knows a classic dry gin and wants to see how far the category can stretch, but it is approachable enough to anchor a first serious gin shelf. Juniper still leads, so classic cocktails stay recognizable, while the 47% strength and layered botanicals let it hold its own against tonic, citrus, or fruit. We carry it because it rewards attention in every format, from a careful G&T to a neat pour, and it shows clearly what a contemporary gin can be.
Pairs well with
- Rosemary herb-roasted chicken — The gin's herbal backbone and the rosemary garnish suggested for its G&T echo the herbs on the bird.
- Stone fruit tart — Its stone fruit and baking spice notes, along with the cardamom, mirror the fruit and pastry.
- Aperitif hour with friends — A bright Monkey G&T or Botanical Collins shows off the juniper and citrus before dinner.
