Pernod Ricard Japan has released a limited design edition, a collaboration between the premium craft gin "MONKEY 47" and "A BATHING APE® (BAPE®)".

"MONKEY 47" is a craft gin produced in Germany's Black Forest (Schwarzwald) using an abundance of 47 botanical ingredients. It is popular as a premium gin, harmonizing a sweet, floral aroma with peppery spice and a subtle hint of juniper berry bitterness. Meanwhile, "BAPE®" was born in Harajuku in 1993 and has been a leading presence in the fashion scene for many years.

The limited design edition "MONKEY 47 A BATHING APE® EDITION" was realized due to the many commonalities in brand philosophy between the two premium brands, such as their quality, attention to detail, and commitment to small-batch production. It is sold in a limited quantity in 10 countries worldwide, including Japan, the United States, China, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

The bottle label and box feature an impressive and special design, layering "MONKEY 47's" original jungle print over the iconic "BAPE®" camouflage pattern, primarily in pink and purple. Additionally, this collaboration includes apparel and skateboards using the highly popular "ABC CAMO" pattern from "BAPE®," sold at select "BAPE®" stores. All items come in three colors: green, pink, and blue, and like the "MONKEY 47 A BATHING APE® EDITION," they are limited to sales in 10 countries worldwide.

We want to fully savor the vibrant aroma, described as "a scent you'd want to wear as perfume," and the complex, well-balanced taste of this craft gin, along with the striking packaging born from the resonance of the two premium brands' DNA.
