Description

The “Fleur de Sel” edition of Monkey 47’s Distiller’s Cut presents an elegant twist on a beloved gin: crisp, saline and subtly herbaceous, it showcases a refined dry-gin character with coastal freshness and depth. Ideal for sipping on its own, elevated G&Ts or premium cocktails where botanical complexity matters. Origins & Craftsmanship This limited-edition 375 ml bottling from Germany’s Black Forest Distillers (Schwarzwald) builds on the brand’s Schwarzwald Dry Gin base, distilled using 47 botanicals plus a signature Black Forest lingonberry. For the Distiller’s Cut “Fleur de Sel”, the focus is on harvesting delicate sea-salt crystals (fleur de sel) from the Camargue region of southern France, which are used to impart marine mineral lift and subtle saline notes. Bottled at 47% ABV, the gin remains non-chill filtered and uncoloured, expressing the purity of its distillate and botanical matrix. (This edition is noted for being seasonal and limited in volume. Pernod-Ricard, the owner of Monkey 47, recently eliminated the vintage dating for the release, but this is the release for 2025.) Critics Reviews Spirits journalist Emily Price (Forbes) described the most recent “Fleur de Sel” edition as “a piquant, elegant dry gin with a touch of the sun’s warmth and the slightest waft of salty sea air.” Reviewer Elias Aoude (One More Dram) stated that the distinctive fleur de sel salt crystals “bring a remarkable flavour experience to the palate, adding subtle marine lift to the complex botanical profile.” Authority review site Tastings.com awarded the 2023 Distiller’s Cut variant 96 points, noting: “Candied pineapple and sweet oranges, lavender and lilacs, sweet ripe blackberries and loganberries… a velvet hammer that holds the proof well and then explodes in a never-ending bouquet of fruits and flowers.” Tasting Profile Nose: Bright and crystalline; aromas of sea spray and saline breeze, mingled with juniper, spruce needle, lavender, fresh citrus peel (grapefruit, lime) and subtle black-forest berry (lingonberry) notes. Palate: Medium-bodied yet crisp; initial juniper and pine, followed by savory fennel-seed, white pepper and the gentle minerality of fleur de sel, leading into herbal layers of rosemary, thyme and coriander seed, touched by candied citrus rind. Finish: Dry and precise: lingering coastal salinity, juniper clarity, mint-leaf freshness and a faint floral herbal echo. Clean, elegant and slightly bracing.
