猴子47 琴酒
Monkey 47 Gin
色澤：透明無色。
香氣：杜松子的特殊純淨，結合清新的柑橘氣息、香甜的花香長餘韻，香氣和諧又豐富多層次。
口感：味甜且帶著松木香與草本口感，佐著柔和柑橘芳香，接著透過清晰的濃郁杜松子氣味發展至些微的胡椒辛香，成就豐富而和諧的口感，綻放出活潑生動的尾韻。
Alexander Stein在發現此故事後，便離職研究，並找上水果白蘭地蒸餾師Christoph Keller，依據僅有文件及別人提供的線索來推敲出原始配方，現今Monkey 47的完整47種原料只有他們兩個人才知道。
這些異國風味的香料，包含6種不同的有機胡椒，浸泡在法國糖蜜製成的烈酒中36個小時（1天2夜）；像是苦橙皮、檸檬、柚子這些需要保持新鮮的材料在每天早上七點必須人工個別先加進烈酒中浸泡。
經過造型優美的Arnold Holstein蒸餾器進行蒸餾後不再過濾，靜置在傳統陶罐中三個月。要說Hendrick's Gin的瓶身設計是藥劑罐，Monkey 47則像是從化學實驗室裡拿出來的瓶子。
軟木塞上的金屬環上刻有拉丁文「EX PLURIBUS UNUM」，意味著「合眾為一」，在美金一元鈔票背面右邊的鳳凰圖案也叼著相同字樣的紙條。瓶身背面皆紀錄批次編號，正面標籤則是著名的猴子商標。
