LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

The ultimate 'nerd's' gin. It is a technical masterpiece that defies the rules of minimalism, proving that if you have enough skill, 47 ingredients can sing in perfect, vibrant harmony.

The Library Note

The recipe is a recreation of a gin developed in the 1950s by British Air Force Commander Montgomery Collins, who settled in Germany's Black Forest. It lay forgotten until its rediscovery in a guesthouse cellar. Each bottle is a tribute to Collins' sponsored zoo monkey, Max, and represents the ultimate marriage of British gin tradition and German botanical precision.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Extremely aromatic and multi-layered. Piney juniper, sharp citrus, and a kaleidoscope of floral and berry notes.

THE PALATE

A sensory explosion. Initial notes of spruce and lavender give way to zesty lemon, peppery spice, and a unique, jammy fruitiness.

THE FINISH

Long, elegant, and complex with a lingering floral warmth.

Sensory Profile

THE PERFECT SERVE
