Description

Monkey Shoulder The Original Blended Malt Scotch Whisky is a blend of Speyside's finest single malt whiskies, created by William Grant & Sons. It was introduced in 2003 as a bartender-friendly whisky, designed for mixing, and is known for its smooth, approachable, and versatile flavor profile. It is matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon casks and blended in small batches. The name pays tribute to the maltmen who suffered a repetitive strain injury called 'monkey shoulder' from turning barley by hand.
