Only new 110-liter mulberry wood jars are used for storage. Before filling, these barrels are lightly toasted inside, which adds extra flavors to the contents that have matured inside.

Since 2008, Black Forest Distillers have been making their gin with 47 botanicals according to the eccentric and unique recipe of Commander Montgomery Collins. In his memory, the gin was named after his pet. In 2016, Pernod Ricard took over the previously independent distillery.
