MONKEY SHOULDER Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl

MONKEY SHOULDER Blended Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl is a premium blended malt whisky produced in Scotland and crafted exclusively from single malt whiskies. Created by William Grant & Sons, Monkey Shoulder brings together carefully selected Speyside malts to deliver a smooth, modern Scotch whisky profile while respecting traditional production methods.

Unlike blended Scotch whiskies that may include grain whisky, Monkey Shoulder is made entirely from malt whisky, giving it greater depth and character. It is matured in oak casks to achieve balance and consistency, resulting in a rounded and approachable style. Bottled at 40% ABV, it reflects a contemporary interpretation of classic Speyside whisky.

On the nose, Monkey Shoulder offers aromas of vanilla, honey, orange zest, and soft spice. The palate reveals notes of creamy malt, toffee, gentle oak, and subtle citrus, followed by a smooth, medium-length finish with hints of vanilla and warming spice. Its profile highlights the natural sweetness and malt-forward character typical of Speyside Scotch.

The name “Monkey Shoulder” originates from a historic maltman’s term, referring to a temporary shoulder condition caused by hand-turning malted barley during traditional floor malting. The bottle features the brand’s distinctive three-monkey emblem, symbolizing the three malt whiskies used in the blend.
