Today, Anís del Mono is enjoyed around the world, and the statue has become a symbol of Badalona. What began as a joke about Darwin now stands as a quiet tribute to one of science’s greatest minds.

Yesterday’s fools may lay the groundwork for tomorrow’s truths.

When Anís del Mono began production in the late 1800s, The Origin of Species was still controversial. The founders may have leaned into this, turning mocking into marketing strategy by putting a (drunk) monkey with Darwin’s face on the label.

The statue represents the logo of Anís del Mono, an emblematic local aniseed liqueur brand founded in 1870.

In my hometown, Badalona, there's a bronze statue of a monkey holding a bottle of anise liqueur. It's not just any monkey—it bears a striking resemblance to Charles Darwin!
