Monkey Shoulder - Original
The Mixer's Muse
Monkey Shoulder is a captivating blend of three single malts from the Speyside region, designed to enhance both the sipping and cocktail experience. Known for its playful attitude towards Scotch whisky traditions, it's crafted by William Grant & Sons, known for their expertise in distilling. The name "Monkey Shoulder" pays homage to the malt-men who traditionally turned barley by hand, though the condition known as 'Monkey Shoulder' is long gone. The bottle design is striking, featuring three brass monkeys on its shoulder, representing the three original Speyside malts used in the blend.
Monkey Shoulder is celebrated for its smooth, creamy texture and vibrant flavor profile. It opens with zesty citrus and hints of spice, leading into a palate of sweet vanilla, honey, and spiced oak. This is a whisky that's crafted not just for neat sipping but shines in cocktails, bringing complexity and smoothness to any concoction.
Blended from single malts from Glenfiddich, Balvenie, and Kininvie, Monkey Shoulder is a modern take on Scotch that maintains deep roots in traditional whisky craftsmanship. Its approachability and versatility make it a favorite among new whisky drinkers and seasoned enthusiasts alike, perfect for those who enjoy experimenting with their spirits.
Monkey Shoulder is the ideal base for creative whisky cocktails. It's particularly great in a Rob Roy or an Old Fashioned, where its rich fruitiness and subtle spiciness can be showcased

Savoring the notes of sweet fruit, fine spices, and hints of leather, I have been greatly satisfied by the exquisite blend of malty sweetness, vanilla, and dried fruit. The long lasting finish, soft yet seriously flavorful, has left me with a taste of citrus and chocolate that I haven't experienced before.
