As we speak, Monkey 47 unveiled Capparis, higher often known as capers, because the 48th botanical within the 14th Distiller’s Lower version.
Impressed by the traditional Italian dish of pasta with anchovies and capers, Monkey 47 found the tiny island of Pantelleria, the so-called Black Pearl of the Mediterranean, simply off the toe of Italy – the place caper bushes thrive amid the volcanic soil and a heat local weather. Monkey 47’s journey led it to La Nicchia di Pantelleria, a small native farm with a 75-year household custom within the artwork of caper manufacturing.
The capers, closed flower buds, are fastidiously picked by hand shortly earlier than they bloom.

A second salting to assist with the maturing course of, releases a novel and distinctive taste: nutty, with a pronounced sweetness and an intense aroma.

GSN’s Remarks: Good nostril of lemon citrus and bracing juniper, with a barely briny contact. At first sip, this looks like an easy dry type gin, however after a number of seconds, the caper taste though delicate, makes an look. The salinity brings a crisp and mouthwatering character to the gin. The general impact is much like including a single olive to a martini. We actually like this one, and would positively use it year-round for high class martinis if funds was not a problem. GSN Score: A
