So this bit is just for the absolute newbies. Everyone else is already well aware of our motto “same same, but different”, so we’ll just summarise it briefly here: botanical curiosity, obsessive pursuit of unparalleled quality, numerous expeditions on the hunt for unexpected aromas, Species Rara – et voilà, MONKEY 47 Distiller’s Cut! Join our Raffle to get your hands on a rare bottle of Distiller's Cut 2024! Last year we found what ...
The art of distillation goes hand in hand with chasing aromas and rendering them in liquid form – although alcohol is merely the medium, not the actual goal of the process. Meanwhile, the world of spirits is divided into categories rather than sensory components and the possibilities associated with them. It’s a form of conditioning that stands in contrast to our obsession with variety and innovation. Why do distillates and spir...

Driven not just by our oft-cited botanical curiosity, but rather by our practically obsessive pursuit of the utmost quality, those of us at Monkey 47 embark each and every year on a search for the right 48th ingredient – our Species rara. While our motto on these travels will always be “no mountain too high, no valley too low”, our latest venture actually took us just round the corner to the Keltenhof, a farm...
“ Dear Julia, we’re working with Lobmeyr on unveiling a new tumbler. Why don’t you get yourself to Vienna to have a look?” This was the basic gist of the job they gave me. I have to admit, my expertise in glasses up to that point was limited to “Mum’s good champagne flutes – the ones with the gold around the rim – don’t go in the dishwasher” and a mnemonic for somme...

After starting our effort to acquire the Holy Grail of ageing barrels back in 2016 and spending two years pleading our case, we finally secured the right to purchase five of these prized vessels. We’re thus proud to p...
All right, we admit it: the idea of selling empty bottles is more than a little out there. Of course, that hasn’t halted our plans to do exactly that for our 10-year anniversary. The circumstances that gave rise to the idea are at once sad and alarming. In biological terms, we humans are also primates – but not one of the 283 species that are currently threatened with extinction. Indeed, our kind...
