Monkey Shoulder – A Modern Take on Blended Malt Scotch Whisky
Monkey Shoulder is one of the most recognizable modern Scotch whisky brands, redefining what blended malt Scotch whisky can be. Created by William Grant & Sons, it combines the rich traditions of Scottish whisky-making with a contemporary approach, making it a favorite among whisky enthusiasts and professional bartenders around the world.
The name Monkey Shoulder comes from the history of traditional Scottish malt houses. Years ago, workers turned germinating barley by hand using wooden shovels, and the repetitive motion sometimes caused a temporary shoulder strain known as Monkey Shoulder. The three brass monkeys featured on every bottle pay tribute to this heritage while also representing the three Speyside single malt whiskies that make up the signature blend.
Unlike traditional blended Scotch whiskies, Monkey Shoulder is a blended malt, meaning it is crafted exclusively from single malt whiskies without any grain whisky. This creates an exceptionally smooth, balanced, and approachable spirit.
On the nose, Monkey Shoulder offers inviting aromas of vanilla, honey, caramel, ripe citrus, and gentle oak. The palate reveals rich flavors of toffee, malt, orange zest, creamy vanilla, and delicate baking spices, followed by a long, smooth, and warming finish.
Its versatility is one of the reasons for its worldwide popularity. Monkey Shoulder is equally enjoyable neat, over ice, or as the foundation for classic whisky cocktails such as Whisky Sour, Old Fashioned, Rob Roy, and Penicillin. Its balanced profile enhances cocktails without overpowering the other ingredients, making it a favorite in bars across the globe.
