Monkey Shoulder Original Blended Malt (6-pack)

Monkey Shoulder Original Blended Malt: A Versatile and Smooth Scotch Whisky

Monkey Shoulder is a modern classic—a premium blended malt Scotch whisky that combines innovation with tradition. Introduced in 2003 by William Grant & Sons, this whisky is expertly crafted from a blend of three renowned Speyside single malts: Glenfiddich, Balvenie, and Kininvie. What sets Monkey Shoulder apart is that it’s made entirely from malt whiskies, with no grain whiskies added, resulting in a spirit that’s exceptionally smooth, creamy, and rich in flavor.

The name Monkey Shoulder pays homage to Scotland’s whisky-making heritage. It refers to an old maltmen’s condition that developed from turning malted barley by hand, leaving one arm hanging slightly lower—nicknamed “monkey shoulder.” Today, the name stands as a proud nod to the craftsmanship and dedication that go into every bottle.

Aged in first-fill ex-bourbon casks, Monkey Shoulder develops its signature profile of honey, vanilla, and toasted oak. On the nose, it’s warm and inviting, with aromas of malt, citrus peel, and spiced fruit. The palate is rich and creamy, offering notes of vanilla, oak, honey, and light cinnamon spice, with a hint of orange zest. The finish is smooth, mellow, and slightly sweet—perfect for sipping neat, on the rocks, or as the base for refined whisky cocktails like an Old Fashioned or Whisky Sour.

Loved for its versatility, Monkey Shoulder is a whisky that appeals to both connoisseurs and cocktail enthusiasts. It pairs beautifully with dark chocolate, roasted nuts, or grilled meats, and it shines equally well in both casual and celebratory settings.
