The Distiller's Cut is Monkey 47's rarest annual release, produced at the brand's home distillery in Germany's Black Forest. Each year the distillery selects a single guest botanical to join the 47 that define the house recipe, creating a one-off expression that changes with every release and vanishes quickly once allocated.
The familiar Monkey 47 framework is all here — resinous juniper, sharp citrus peel, and the tart lift of Black Forest lingonberries — woven through with herbal depth and a peppery spice that builds toward the finish, while the year's guest botanical tilts the balance in a direction unique to this edition.
Bottled in the compact 375 ml format that is a Monkey 47 signature, the Distiller's Cut makes a natural centerpiece for a gin shelf and a distinctive gift for anyone who already loves the standard bottling. Pair it with Hendrick's Gin and the rest of the craft gin selection at Liquor Geeks to build a proper tasting flight. Ships to most US states. Adult-signature required at delivery.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is the annual Distiller's Cut from Monkey 47, made by Black Forest Distillers at the brand's home distillery in Germany's Black Forest. Each year the distillery adds a single guest botanical to the 47 that define the house recipe, so every edition is a one-off that tilts the familiar profile in its own direction. The framework fans of the standard bottling know is all here: pine-forward juniper, grapefruit zest and citrus peel, tart lingonberry, cool herbal lift, and a peppery spice that builds into a long finish. At 47% ABV the texture is dense and layered, which rewards slow sipping from a small tulip glass as much as a carefully built Gin & Tonic. It suits the collector following each year's release and the Monkey 47 drinker curious to see how one botanical can shift a recipe they already love. We carry it because comparing editions side by side is exactly the kind of gin geekery our shelves exist for, and the compact 375 ml bottle makes it a thoughtful gift.
Pairs well with
- Sharp alpine cheeses — The tart berry fruit and peppery finish cut through rich, nutty cheese while echoing the gin's Black Forest character.
- Smoked trout — Bright grapefruit zest and resinous juniper lift the smoky, oily fish much like a squeeze of citrus would.
- Home gin tasting flight — A layered, edition-specific profile of juniper, citrus, lingonberry and spice gives tasters plenty to compare against other gins on the table.

What is the best way to drink it?
Sip it neat at room temperature from a small tulip glass to follow the botanicals as they unfold, or give it a short stay in the freezer to tighten the texture. For a cocktail, build a Gin & Tonic with one part gin to two parts dry tonic and a grapefruit twist.
