A Unique Blend of Speyside Malts
 
Monkey Shoulder is a delightful blend of three renowned Speyside single malts: Glenfiddich, Balvenie, and Kininvie. This blend results in a whisky that is smooth, sweet, and incredibly easy to drink, whether you prefer it neat, over ice, or as a standout component in whisky cocktails.
 
Rich History and Flavorful Profile
 
The name 'Monkey Shoulder' harks back to a term used in the whisky-making days of old, referring to a condition that malt men might develop while laboring to turn barley by hand. Today, it represents a vibrant and accessible whisky that continues to honor its heritage with its robust and rewarding flavor profile.
 
A Symphony of Aromas and Tastes
 
Monkey Shoulder greets the senses with an elegant and stylish nose of marmalade, Crema Catalana, cocoa, and malt, enhanced by vanilla and a sprinkling of winter spice, including nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon. A mouth-watering hint of aniseed adds complexity to the inviting aroma.
 
Palate and Finish
 
On the palate, Monkey Shoulder offers a creamy and very malty experience, with notes of berry fruit, juicy toasted barley, cloves, and butterscotch. Flavors of Manuka honey, hot-buttered-toast, and dried apricot develop, leading to a satisfyingly medium-length finish that features spicy oak and a hint of peppermint.
 
Whisky with Character
 
Monkey Shoulder is more than just a whisky; it's an experience. Described whimsically on its website as tasting "just like riding bareback on the wild moors of Scotland with a flame-haired maiden on Christmas morning" or "like 007 wearing a tuxedo wetsuit," it's clear that this is a whisky designed not just to be enjoyed, but to be remembered.
