Monkey Shoulder

Description

Monkey Shoulder is a popular blended malt Scotch whisky known for its smooth and approachable character. Crafted by William Grant & Sons, this whisky is a blend of three different single malts from Speyside distilleries. The name “Monkey Shoulder” pays tribute to the traditional whisky-making process, where malt men would manually turn barley with a shovel, causing a temporary strain on their shoulders, which was humorously referred to as “monkey shoulder.” Monkey Shoulder is cherished for its delightful flavor profile, featuring notes of vanilla, honey, and gentle spices, with a subtle hint of oak. Its creamy and mellow texture makes it easy to enjoy on its own or in a variety of cocktails, making it a favorite among whisky enthusiasts and bartenders alike. This distinctive whisky is highly regarded for its quality, value, and versatility, representing an excellent introduction to the world of Scotch whisky for newcomers and a reliable choice for seasoned whisky drinkers seeking a smooth and enjoyable dram. Its iconic bottle design and playful monkey motif add to its charm and appeal.
