Celebrated for its timeless taste, rich heritage, and unmistakable aroma, this iconic liqueur embodies the artistry of Spanish distillation and cultural legacy.

A Storied Legacy
Anís del Mono Dulce is more than just a liqueur; it’s a piece of Spanish history and culture that has enchanted palates for over 150 years. Established in 1870 by Vicente Bosch in Badalona, Spain, the brand’s distinctive character and quality quickly soared, becoming a beloved staple at Spanish festivities and family gatherings.
The origins of its iconic monkey logo and diamond-patterned bottle are a testament to Bosch’s creative vision. Inspired by a personalized perfume bottle from Paris and a gift monkey’s face, which some assert resembles Charles Darwin, Anís del Mono has cultivated a unique identity. These design elements have elevated its status and now stand as cultural artifacts, often featured in Spanish art and literature.
Masterful Production
Every drop of Anís del Mono Dulce flows from a heritage of meticulous craftsmanship. The process begins with the careful selection of natural anise seeds, primarily star anise, and other aromatic botanicals. These botanicals undergo distillation in traditional copper stills, extracting essential oils that impart the liqueur’s signature flavors and aromas.
Once distilled, the anise-infused spirits are skillfully blended with sugar, neutral alcohol, and pure water to achieve its harmonious sweetness and desired alcohol content. This blend is then filtered and bottled to preserve its striking clarity and depth.
Sensory Delight
Savored by both connoisseurs and casual drinkers, Anís del Mono Dulce is celebrated for its crystal-clear, luminous appearance and its deeply aromatic profile. One sip reveals a sweet and smooth body with a subtle complexity lent by the spicy notes of the anise. The finish lingers warmly, inviting yet another taste.
Beyond its inherent qualities, this Spanish anise liqueur offers versatile enjoyment—whether enjoyed neat, over ice, or as a pivotal ingredient in both classic and contemporary cocktails. Its presence enhances dessert recipes, introducing a distinctive anise flair to cakes and pastries.
Cultural Anchor
Embodying the essence of Spanish celebration, Anís del Mono Dulce holds a revered place in the nation’s customs and festivities. Its resilient brand image, characterized by the enduring popularity of its design, continues to captivate new generations while fostering a connection to the past.
In comparison to global counterparts like Greece’s ouzo or Italy’s sambuca, Anís del Mono stands out with its sweet palate and profound heritage, distinctly wrapping the rich tradition of Spain in each bottle.
