Description
Monkey Shoulder 700ml is a distinctive blended malt Scotch whisky celebrated for its rich, smooth character and versatility. Crafted by William Grant & Sons, the blend is composed of three single malts: Glenfiddich, Balvenie, and Kininvie. These malts are aged for a minimum of 12 years in oak casks, creating a harmonious fusion of flavors.
The name “Monkey Shoulder” harks back to a condition suffered by malt men in the 19th century, who would shoulder sacks of barley, resulting in a temporary, but painful, condition. Today, the name pays homage to the hardworking tradition of whisky production.
Monkey Shoulder 700ml boasts a deep amber color and offers an inviting nose with aromas of vanilla, honey, and a hint of spice. On the palate, it reveals a rich, creamy texture with flavors of toasted oak, dried fruit, and malted barley, complemented by subtle notes of spice and a touch of citrus. The finish is smooth and warming, with lingering hints of oak and vanilla.
Ideal for both sipping neat and mixing in cocktails, Monkey Shoulder is recognized for its balanced complexity and approachable flavor profile.
