Monkey Shoulder is a modern, versatile blended malt Scotch whisky crafted by William Grant & Sons, one of Scotland's last family-owned distilleries. It marries single malts from three of Grant's Speyside distilleries—Glenfiddich, Balvenie, and Kininvie—creating an exceptionally smooth and approachable whisky. The name pays homage to the historic "monkey shoulder" condition that maltmen developed from manually turning barley. Created by legendary Master Blender David Stewart, this whisky is designed to be both sipped neat and shine in cocktails, making it a favorite among bartenders and a new generation of whisky drinkers. Its playful branding and serious liquid quality have revolutionized the perception of blended malt whisky.
