Monkey Shoulder

Monkey Shoulder is a blended malt Scotch made entirely from single malt whiskies — no grain whisky — specifically from three Speyside distilleries (Glenfiddich, Balvenie, and Kininvie). The name comes from the repetitive strain injury maltmen used to get from manually turning barley on the malting floor. Smooth, malty, and vanilla-forward with a light fruitiness, it's designed to be as approachable and cocktail-friendly as blended Scotch while delivering the depth of single malt. Excellent value.
