About This Whiskey
Monkey Shoulder is a blended malt Scotch whisky produced by William Grant & Sons. It is a blend of three single malts: Glenfiddich, Balvenie, and Kininvie, all from the same distillery group. The name "Monkey Shoulder" refers to a term historically used to describe a condition that malt men would get from turning the barley by hand, which caused their shoulders to droop like a monkey’s. The whisky was created to be a smooth and versatile drink, perfect for both sipping neat and mixing in cocktails.
