The result is a gin that rewards the collector and the enthusiast simultaneously — the core Monkey 47 complexity fully present, with a new aromatic or flavor dimension overlaid. The 375ml format makes it accessible as an annual addition to a collection. Like all Monkey 47, it is produced at the distillery in Loßburg using Black Forest botanicals macerated in neutral grain spirit before distillation in a traditional Arnold Holstein still, bottled at the signature 47% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Forest Distillers, Loßburg, Black Forest, Germany\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e German Schwarzwald Gin, Annual Limited Release\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBotanicals:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47 standard botanicals + 1 annual selection (vintage-specific)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47% (94 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 375ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gin\"\u003egin at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat changes in the Distiller's Cut each year?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne additional botanical beyond the standard 47 — selected by the distiller each vintage.
