Real results our AI has returned for this search — two close matches chosen for flavour profile and style, plus a wildcard discovery worth knowing about. Run your own search to get picks tuned to your specific tastes.

Close match 01
The Botanist Islay Dry Gin
The Botanist Islay Dry Gin / Small Bottle
The Botanist / Bruichladdich · The Whisky Exchange

46% ABV | Scottish dry gin from Bruichladdich's Islay distillery. Made with 31 botanicals — 22 hand-foraged from the island itself — delivering elderflower, meadowsweet, mint, and lemon balm with a long, floral finish. Like Monkey 47, The Botanist is defined by an extraordinary botanical count and a fierce commitment to terroir. Where Monkey 47 reaches deep into the Black Forest and Asia, The Botanist draws on 22 botanicals native to Islay alone — the same philosophy of place expressed through ingredients you simply won't find elsewhere. The sheer complexity rewards sipping neat, exactly as Monkey 47 does. If you love Monkey 47 for its layered, ever-evolving character, The Botanist gives you the same experience of discovery in every glass. It's equally at home in a Martini or Gimlet, and TWE awarded it their inaugural Spirit of the Year — the highest endorsement a gin can get from a retailer this serious.

Close match 02
Elephant London Dry Gin
Elephant Orange and Cocoa Gin
Elephant Gin · The Whisky Exchange

45% ABV | German-made London Dry gin crafted in small batches of no more than 700 bottles. 14 botanicals drawn from Africa and Europe — mountain pine, buchu, African wormwood, juniper, and orange peel — producing a floral, fruity, and herbaceous spirit. Elephant Gin is the closest structural sibling to Monkey 47 in terms of DNA: both are made in Germany, both obsess over unusual botanicals sourced from far-flung regions, and both are distilled in small copper-pot batches with hands-on precision. Where Monkey 47 leans into the Black Forest and Asia, Elephant ventures into wild African flora — a different journey, but the same spirit of adventure. You'll find the same complex interplay of forest botanicals, pine, and spice that makes Monkey 47 so compelling, but with a distinctive African warmth running through the finish. It's complex enough to sip neat, versatile enough to anchor a proper Martini — and every bottle funds elephant conservation charities.

Wildcard pick 03
Four Pillars Rare Dry Gin
Four Pillars Christmas Gin
Four Pillars · The Whisky Exchange

41.8% ABV | Australian dry gin from the Yarra Valley, TWE Gin of the Year 2024. Combines Asian spices with Mediterranean citrus and native Australian botanicals — Tasmanian pepperberry, Queensland lemon myrtle, and Yarra Valley lavender — for a bold, perfectly spiced character. At first glance, Australia and the Black Forest seem worlds apart — but Four Pillars pursues exactly the same principle as Monkey 47: blend botanicals from wildly different terroirs into something that feels cohesive and greater than the sum of its parts. The Asian spice element, the citrus backbone, the native foraged botanicals — it's a different map, but the same cartographic obsession. If you've reached the point with Monkey 47 where you want something that pushes the style into genuinely new flavour territory, Four Pillars is the answer. It won TWE's Gin of the Year 2024, which means the most knowledgeable gin retailer in the world put it above every other bottle — the perfect wildcard for a Monkey 47 lover ready to be surprised.
