Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt

Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt Scotch Whisky takes its name from an injury once suffered by maltmen who turned barley by hand during the malting process, leaving one arm hanging like a “monkey shoulder.” Produced by William Grant & Sons, the whisky is composed primarily of Speyside single malts from the company’s distilleries, including Glenfiddich, The Balvenie, and Kininvie. Originally conceived as a marriage of three Speyside malts—a nod reflected in the three brass monkeys on the bottle—the whisky is married for several months before bottling and is commonly used in Scotch cocktails.
