A favourite amongst bartenders for its smooth and rich qualities, Monkey Shoulder created an innovative blended malt whisky that's bold enough to be mixed in cocktails, and yet balanced enough to enjoy neat.

Catch whiffs of zesty orange, vanilla, honey and spiced oak and taste mellow vanilla with spicy hints; Monkey Shoulder boasts a rich, smooth, malty and fruity character that is distinctive yet balanced enough and perfect for cocktails.

The iconic whisky bottle is complete with 3 monkeys, each representing a constituent single malt whisky. Rooted in malt whisky lore, the name references a strain injury playfully known as 'monkey shoulder' experienced by the William Grant & Sons malt men who turned malted barley by hand using large, heavy malt shovels.

With a playful attitude and commitment to the unconventional, Monkey Shoulder is the perfect whisky gift for a new generation of scotch drinkers.

MAKE IT MONKEY

Monkey Shoulder whisky offers light and delicate vanilla notes on the nose. Floral, malty, soft, and slightly honeyed, this blended scotch has a smooth and rounded taste with hints of malty sweetness, vanilla, barley sugar and marmalade.

FLAVOURSOME WHISKY

Monkey Shoulder is the product of a closely guarded recipe: a smooth blend of Speyside single malts that produce a complex array of delicious flavours.

SMALL BATCH PRODUCED

The whiskies are matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon casks and vatted together in small batches for up to six months before bottling at 40% Alcohol by Volume.
