With a playful attitude and a commitment to the unconventional, Monkey Shoulder delivers a great Scotch to the next generation of adventurous whisky drinkers. Cheers to that! Monkey Shoulder’s overall richness and vibrancy combines with a fruity aroma, a smooth and rounded taste with accents of malty sweetness, creamy vanilla, zesty marmalade and barley sugar for a refreshingly approachable whisky. The iconic bottle design, complete with three brass monkeys - each representing one of the constituent single malts - on the bottle's shoulder is sure to attract adventurous taste seekers and certainly ensures it's not one to hide away at the back of the bar!

This unique blended malt is catching the attention of the country's leading bartenders for its smooth and rich qualities, making it ideal for mixing as well as drinking in the more traditional way. As Charlotte Voisey of London's Apartment 195 explains, 'the attractive name and bottle spark curiosity, and once explained, bring a smile to your face.' Why is Monkey Shoulder called Monkey Shoulder we hear you ask? Rooted in malt whisky lore, Monkey Shoulder is inspired by and affectionately named in honour of a temporary injury the malt men occasionally suffered many years ago as a result of repeatedly turning the malt by hand. The repetitive practice caused their arm to hang down, resembling a monkey – thus the nickname. Thankfully, working practices have now changed and the condition no longer exists but we are proud to honour our heritage.
