Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt Scotch Whisky — a blended malt Scotch whisky that combines the soul of Speyside’s finest single malts into one smooth, rich, and versatile spirit 🏴✨.
Crafted by William Grant & Sons, the same family behind Glenfiddich and Balvenie, Monkey Shoulder is a tribute to the malt men of old, whose hard labor turning barley by hand once caused a shoulder strain known as “monkey shoulder.” 🐒💪
This exceptional whisky is a blend of three Speyside single malts, matured in first-fill ex-bourbon casks, resulting in a creamy texture, a mellow sweetness, and a flavor profile that’s both approachable and deeply satisfying.
On the nose — vanilla, honey, and orange zest, followed by notes of toffee, oak, and a hint of cinnamon 🍯🍊.
On the palate — smooth and malty, with flavors of butterscotch, spiced oak, and baked apple, balanced by a gentle warmth and creamy mouthfeel.
The finish — soft, long, and slightly sweet, leaving behind whispers of malt, vanilla, and subtle spice.
Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt Scotch Whisky is designed for both whisky lovers and cocktail enthusiasts — equally delicious neat, on the rocks 🧊, or in modern classics like the Whisky Sour, Old Fashioned, or the brand’s signature Ginger Monkey 🥃🍹.
