Monkey Shoulder uses only single malt Scotch whiskies from three of Speyside's finest distilleries blended together to make an exquisite blended whisky.
This triple malt is catching the attention of the country's leading bartenders for its smooth and rich qualities, making it ideal for mixing whisky cocktails as well as drinking in the more traditional way.
Rooted in malt whisky lore, Monkey Shoulder is inspired by and named in honour of the malt men at William Grant, who are among the few still to turn the malting barley by hand using a sheil (wooden shovel). Monkey Shoulder was a nickname given to a temporary injury some malt men occasionally suffered many years ago as a result of repeatedly bending over whilst turning the malt. Thankfully, working practices have now changed and the condition no longer exists.
A small batch whisky crafted in batches of just 27 casks. Monkey Shoulder's smooth and rounded taste has accents of malty sweetness, vanilla, marmalade and barley sugar.
The iconic whisky bottle design is complete with three brass monkeys - each representing one of the constituent single malts whisky. The design is sure to attract confident, liberal minded people with discerning taste and ensures it's not one to hide away in the drink's cabinet.
With a playful attitude and a commitment to the unconventional Monkey Shoulder is bringing great Scotch to a new generation of whisky drinkers.
