Monkey 47 Distiller’s Cut (2021) Review
Monarda didyma is the "species rara" that defines this year's edition of Distiller's Cut. Sometimes referred to as "bee balm," the aromatic herb lends a dazzling floral citrus character. Perfumed, zesty, and finishing with a crack of spice, the herb adds an enjoyable top layer to what is already a fantastically complex spirit. Proving that gin can be a sipping spirit, Distiller's Cut is a species rara in its own right.
