Anis De Mono (Sweet Anis) 36% 70cl

The company was Anís del Mono (1868 or) 1870 founded by brothers José and Vicente Bosch in Badalona. Unusual is the bottle label, to its history, there are different traditions. This bottle label shows an ape-man, who has the facial features of a man, but has a completely hairy body and a monkey tail - and respectively in his right paw. Hand holds a scroll written on the stands: "He's the best, the science says that, and I do not lie" and holding in his left a bottle. A legislative history anticipates that this design was chosen because the Bosch family a monkey as a pet was, who was also in the liquor factory, another tradition for, wanted the brothers Bosch caricature popular at that time views of Charles Darwin provocative after the evolution of man descended from apes, or the belief in science as a whole should be caricatured by the label.
