Monkey 47 has just presented its Distiller’s Cut 2020 edition: a very special distillate aged for six months in mizunara barrels.
Every year, a limited edition is offered, the result of botanical curiosity and a search for unique aromas. This year, it coincides with the brand’s 10th anniversary and is the culmination of a two-year campaign to acquire the holy grail of aging barrels.
Gin? Mizunara barrels? The reasons are actually quite simple to understand. During his many travels, Alexander Stein, founder of Monkey 47, discovered the Japanese art of distillation, which involves using a particular type of oak for the aging of whisky in barrels. Immediately intrigued by the history and tradition of these barrels, he went on a mission to obtain his own mizunara barrels. The result is monkey 47’s Distiller’s Cut 2020 edition, a dry, soft and elegant gin with a refined note of sandalwood and a touch of coconut, which blend together to offer a flexible sensory experience that will not only appeal to lovers of delicate vanilla aromas.
The icing on the Cake?
