Monkey 47 , a gorgeous and beautiful craft gin from the Black Forest of Germany.

The aroma is so gorgeous and beautiful that it could be used as a perfume. This is how it is described, and it is a craft gin that has been attracting people from all over the world. Monkey 47 is made from rare herbs and natural spring water from Schwarzwald, Germany (Schwarz means black and Wald means forest). This craft gin was created by distiller Alexander Stein with his passion for "making the best gin in the world" in mind. Craft gin has become a big boom in Japan, but what kind of place and how is Monkey 47, the pinnacle of craft gin, made? To find out, we visited a distillery in Schwarzwald.
