Monkey 47 Distiller's '15 Bottling Note
The 2015 edition of Monkey 47's Distiller's Cut features their extensive selection of botanicals as well as a very special ingredient - spignel seeds! Spignel is a rare plant with aromatic leaves and white flowers which grows in mountainous regions. When its foliage is cut, it gives of a sweet scent said to be similar to fennel, dill or even gin! Back in the day, young shoots of the plant were combined with sea salt, which sounds mighty delicious too...
The German distillers allowed the Distiller's Cut 2015 to rest for three months in earthenware containers before being combined with soft spring water from the Black Forest.
