Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

If you're looking for a whisky with a bit of personality, then Monkey Shoulder is the one for you. This unique blend gets its name from the Scottish slang for a muscular strain suffered by malt men during the days when whisky was still made by hand.

The three main single malt whiskies in Monkey Shoulder are Glenfiddich, Balvenie, and Kininvie - all from Speyside, the spiritual home of whisky. This gives Monkey Shoulder its distinctive fruity and rich flavor profile.

Monkey Shoulder is a smooth, creamy, supple, and very malty Scotch that works superbly well neat, over ice, or in whisky cocktails (where it really excels).

So if you're after a whisky that's fun, full of flavor, and has a bit of history behind it, then pick up a bottle of Monkey Shoulder. You won't be disappointed.

Nose: An elegant, stylish nose of marmalade, cocoa, and malt. Plenty of vanilla and a sprinkling of winter spice (nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon) alongside a mouth-watering hint of aniseed.

Palate: Very malty, creamy delivery with a suggestion of berry fruit. Juicy toasted barley, cloves and butterscotch. Manuka honey, hot-buttered-toast and dried apricot develop.

Finish: Medium length, spicy oak and a hint of peppermint on the tail.
