Monkey Shoulder is a blended malt Scotch whisky from William Grant & Sons, crafted using single malts from Glenfiddich, Balvenie, and Kininvie—no grain whisky in sight. First launched in 2003 as a bartender-friendly alternative to traditional blends, it was aged in first-fill bourbon barrels and blended in small batches to create a smooth, versatile profile ideal for cocktails.
With bold branding that broke away from Scotch’s stuffy image, it became a trailblazer in the early 2000s whisky renaissance. Since then, it’s expanded with variants like Smokey Monkey and Fresh Monkey, keeping the brand fresh and relevant.
Designed for mixing, Monkey Shoulder enhances classic whisky cocktails (where it really excels) like an Old Fashioned or a Whisky Sour. If you're after a whisky that's fun, full of flavour, and has a bit of history behind it, then pick up a bottle of Monkey Shoulder. You won't be disappointed!
Its quirky name nods to a repetitive strain injury once suffered by maltmen turning barley by hand.
An elegant, stylish nose of marmalade, Crema Catalana (apologies, but it really is there), cocoa and malt. Plenty of vanilla and a sprinkling of winter spice (nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon) alongside a mouth-watering hint of aniseed.
Very malty, creamy delivery with a suggestion of berry fruit. Juicy toasted barley, cloves and butterscotch. Manuka honey, hot-buttered-toast and dried apricot develop.
Medium length, spicy oak and a hint of peppermint on the tail.
This is whisky to be enjoyed. According to the Monkey Shoulder website: "Some say it tastes just like riding bareback on the wild moors of Scotland with a flame-haired maiden on Christmas morning. Others agree it tastes like 007 wearing a tuxedo wetsuit."
£4.30 - £31.50
A wonderful whisky for the price - honey, with hints of citrus and aniseed
I like whisky but I usually just skip it and drink rum, but this is definitely a whisky I always have in my cupboard. Looks great, smells great, tastes great! Just can't buy enough!
I went to lunch alone and sat at the bar. Ordered a glass of wine and my food. 20 mins later I was doing shots of this with a stranger who was also alone… I immediately started sweating. As a woman that doesn’t drink scotch or whisky (Is scotch and whisky the same thing? Idk) I should have turned it down but I don’t back down from a challenge. I knew I was tipsy so I decided drink water and wait it out at the bar. 1 hour later I’m shoe shopping. It’s now the next day and none of shoes are the same size or even my size. I would never drink this again but it made for a great day.
I enjoy whisky.This is my favourite since discovering it recently.Love its smoothness.
Prolly the worst scotch I've tried yet, not my cup of tea at all. What I get for trying a blended scotch. Don't spend 50 bucks and be disappointed, fork up a few more bucks and its a better experience.
