Old signs of the famous spanish liquor Anis del Mono. [ Del Mono anisette is an anis-anisette from Spain with a particular story. The Catalan business man Vicente Bosch owned an anisette distillery and various merchant vessels. In one of voyages, they brought him a monkey from America that later lived in the distillery. By the end of the XIX century that distillery was known as "the distillery of the monkey" and their anis-anisette as "anis-anisette of the monkey". Some time later, they decided to put a picture of the body of the monkey with the face of Vicente Bosch as the logo on the bottle. Del Mono is considered to be the finest anis-anisette from Spain, is a very sweet, colorless, liquor made from anise seed and tasting of licorice, is sweeter than most anise-flavored liquors and has an intense and pleasing aroma ]

¡Hola!
Soy Kike de Barcelona (Catalunya/España.
En relación a la famosa Etiqueta de Anís del Mono, quisiera aportar una aclaración.
La cara que figura en el Homínido de dicha Etiqueta es la de Charles Darwin, al que, Vicente Bosch (dueño de la fábrica del anís, quiso rendirle un HOMENAJE, en desagravio, por el maltrato popular, que por entonces tenía LA TEORIA DE LA EVOLUCIÓN, de Darwin.
Y lo refleja en el pergamino que el hom´ñinido lleva en su mano:
ES EL MEJOR.LA CIENCIA LO DICE. Y YO NO MIENTO.
Saludos cordiales.
