Monkey Shoulder is a popular Scottish malt whisky made from a blend of three Single Malts from the Speyside region – Glenfiddich, The Balvenie and Kininvie. Matured in American oak ex-bourbon casks, these three malts come together to create a harmonious blend with a rich aroma, smooth taste and pleasant sweetness.
The nose is rich and inviting, with prominent vanilla notes complemented by oak, nutmeg and cinnamon. On the palate, fruity flavours of peach and apricot combine with honey sweetness and delicate floral accents. The finish is smooth, sweet and pleasantly warming.
Monkey Shoulder is also instantly recognisable by its distinctive bottle design, featuring three brass monkeys. They represent the three malt whiskies in the blend, as well as the traditional manual work of maltmen who turned the barley during the malting process.
An excellent choice to enjoy neat, over ice or as a versatile base for a variety of cocktails.
