BenRiach - Batch 3 (That Boutique-y Whisky Company)

No monkeying around, the third batch of BenRiach bottled by That Boutique-y Whisky Company is utterly bananas! If you're wondering why this chimp champ of a whisky is getting so many puns, it's because the label shows the origin of the phrase "Monkey Shoulder". You see, turning the barley on a traditional malting floor (like the one BenRiach has recently started using again) was a tough, labour intensive job that would sometimes result in the maltster developing a hunch, affectionately known as the aforementioned "Monkey Shoulder".

This is a release of 103 chimply spectacular bottles.

‘That Boutique-y Whisky Company’ bottles single malts, single grains, blended malts, blends and bourbons from a variety of renowned distilleries. These whiskies are adorned with cultish graphic-novel-style labels.
