It was the goal of Monkey 47 creator, Montgomery Collins, the British Air Force Office, to unite the flavour traditions that represented his background. He spent his childhood in India, as the child of a diplomat. His military career brought him to Berlin, where he helped rebuild the Berlin Zoo. Collins later settled in the Black Forest where he opened a country guesthouse called “The Wild Monkey.” An effort to marry British tradition with the exoticness of East Asia and the spotless beauty of the Black Forest is clear in every bottle of Monkey 47 Dry Gin which is based on Collin’s original recipe.
