Monkey Shoulder is a blended malt Scotch whisky that is made from a blend of 3 single malts, each aged in oak casks for a minimum of 12 years. This 700ml bottle of whisky has a smooth and mellow flavor with notes of vanilla, honey, and a hint of spice. It is a light and easy-to-drink whisky that is perfect for both sipping and mixing in cocktails. The name "Monkey Shoulder" is inspired by the injury suffered by malt men who used to turn the barley by hand, and refers to a temporary condition that can result from this repetitive motion. Monkey Shoulder is a popular choice for whisky enthusiasts who appreciate its smoothness and versatility, and it is often used in classic cocktails like the Manhattan and the Old Fashioned.
