Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

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.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

Nose

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.

Palate

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.

Finish

Medium length, spicy oak and a hint of peppermint on the tail.

Overall

This is whisky to be enjoyed. According to the Monkey Shoulder website: <em>"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."</em>

Reviews for Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

too sweet

too sweet and a bit alcohol, not as good as before

joe ng Jul 16, 2025

MONKEY GRIPPER

Drunk neat - a good reasonable average nondescript beginner's whisky. It being quite young (about 3-years-old I believe) it is evident throughout the whole tasting. Starts off with typical soft vanilla and then morphs into 'liquid confectionery'.

EDGAR Sep 18, 2024

True drinker

i tired it few days ago ..honestly it does not deliver creamy whiskey....it is plain whisky...alcohol strength high as i expected cost is high according to its taste... but i found a good thing it is drink with water best
