Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Estimated Price: £24.50

Monkey Shoulder is a blended malt Scotch whisky that combines a rich, smooth, and fruity taste profile created from a blend of Speyside single malts. The whisky delivers flavours of zesty orange, honey, vanilla, and spiced oak, alongside mellow notes of barley sugar and marmalade, providing a balanced character suitable for both neat drinking and cocktail mixing.

This whisky is matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon casks and blended in small batches, then married for up to six months before bottling at 40% ABV to ensure a smooth and rich taste. Its versatility makes it well suited for a variety of cocktails including Old Fashioned, Espresso Martini, and Monkey Colada, while still being distinctive enough to enjoy on its own. The bottle design features three monkeys representing the individual malts in the blend, referencing traditional malt whisky craftsmanship.

Monkey Shoulder is recognised in the industry, having earned several awards such as Gold at the International Wine & Spirits Challenge and International Spirits Challenge. It offers a quality malt whisky experience at a consistent strength and flavour profile, making it a practical choice for both casual whisky drinkers and bartenders.
