Monkey Shoulder is a blended malt Scotch whisky from William Grant & Sons, crafted from three Speyside single malts (Balvenie, Glenfiddich, and Kininvie). It’s built for everyday sipping and cocktails, delivering a smooth, creamy malt profile with vanilla, honey, and orchard fruit notes. A approachable sweetness, balanced spice, and soft finish make it versatile for neat, on the rocks, or mixed drinks.
