Tasting notes

Monkey Shoulder Original is a playful yet iconic blended malt, instantly recognizable by its trio of monkeys perched on the bottle’s shoulder, a nod to the traditional maltmen’s shoulder strain from hand-turning barley. Crafted from a blend of three Speyside single malts, this whisky delivers a smooth, approachable profile that’s both versatile and characterful. On the nose, it offers balanced and inviting aromas, leading to a palate rich in fruity and sweet notes, wrapped in a soft, rounded texture. A truly crowd-pleasing dram, Monkey Shoulder shines both neat and as the backbone of classic whisky cocktails.

About this whisky

Monkey Shoulder is a blended malt Scotch whisky from Scotland, bottled at 40% ABV. It brings together malt whiskies in a style built for easy drinking and mixing rather than sipping alone as a single malt.

Expect a smooth, honeyed palate with vanilla, orange and light spice, finishing clean without heavy peat or smoke. Serve at 15–20°C, neat, on the rocks or in a whisky highball, a reliable, crowd-pleasing pour when guests want Scotch without ceremony.
