About Monkey Shoulder  &nbsp;

In 2005, Monkey Shoulder, the world’s first made-for-mixing blended malt whisky, burst into the world of whisky, and it has been breaking the conventions of the category ever since. Developed as the ultimate whisky for cocktails, Monkey Shoulder Original Blended Malt Whisky is blended in small batches of Speyside’s finest single malt whiskies and then married together. Rich, smooth, and fruity, the original blend is bold enough to be mixed, yet balanced enough to enjoy neat. Most recently, Monkey Shoulder has been voted as the second best-selling and third Top Trending Scotch Whisky Brand in Drink International’s 2022 Brands Report. This unique blend gets its name from the Scottish slang for a muscular strain suffered by malt men during the days when whisky was still made by hand.
