A friend gave me some of this Monkey 47 Gin. Incredible. Never had Gin like that. I think someone who is not a fan of Tanqueray or Bombay(or gin in general) will change their opinion of gin after trying this. Very smooth, not hot, with a wonderful fragrant note of fresh juniper..which is very different than the floral dry juniper taste. I like all spirits, but this is one of the best I have ever tasted. Just neat, room temp...heavenly!
