- Palate: Very full-bodied with a creamy texture. Layers of berries, toasted barley, cloves, and toffee develop into sweet notes of Manuka honey, hot buttered toast, and dried apricots.

Product Details
Monkey Shoulder is an innovative creation by the William Grant & Sons family. It contains no grain whisky; instead, it is blended entirely from single malts produced by three of Speyside top distilleries. The name pays tribute to the maltmen of the past who turned barley by hand, symbolizing respect for traditional craft while embodying a casual, fun, and approachable soul. Whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as a base for classic cocktails, it delivers stunning balance.
Read More Brand Story
The legend of Monkey Shoulder begins in Speyside, the heart of Scotch whisky. The name stems from a charming tradition: in the old days, maltmen used large shovels to turn barley by hand. This repetitive motion often caused their shoulders to droop slightly, a temporary injury affectionately known as monkey shoulder. Although modern machinery is now used, the brand keeps the name to honor these unsung heroes of the industry.
Unlike whiskies that emphasize age statements, Monkey Shoulder focuses on the balance and diversity of flavor. It boldly combines three high-quality single malts matured in bourbon casks, giving the liquid its signature vanilla and toffee sweetness. This Blended Malt approach offers the complexity of a single malt with the smoothness of a blend.
Monkey Shoulder has played a vital role in the cocktail revival. Bartenders find that its rich, creamy texture and tropical fruit notes pair perfectly with various ingredients, from a simple Highball to a complex Old Fashioned. It is not just an award-winning whisky; it is a global staple for good taste and shared fun.
