Monkey Shoulder is a blended malt Scotch whisky combining single malts from three Speyside distilleries — smooth, vanilla-led, and built for mixing.
A marriage of Glenfiddich, Balvenie, and Kininvie single malts, Monkey Shoulder leads with floral aromas alongside zesty citrus and fresh fruit, with subtle hints of honey and spiced oak. The palate is rich with vanilla, sweet brown sugar, and creamy toffee, balanced by notes of oak and dashes of spice. The result is approachable and versatile — a benchmark cocktail Scotch.
It shines in a whisky sour, an Old Fashioned, or a Mizuwari, and is smooth enough to enjoy over ice.
