The name Monkey Shoulder lives on as an affectionate tribute to the malt-men of yore in recognition of the times they suffered for their art. Monkey Shoulder’s unique taste is the result of a careful blending of three single malt whiskies distilled in the heart of malt whisky country, Speyside. Unlike traditional blends, Monkey Shoulder only uses single malt from three Speyside distilleries, resulting in a richer blended malt of exceptional smoothness. Each batch is made by using just 27 casks carefully selected by our malt master, Brian Kinsman.
