The Original - Batch 27 Blended Malt Scotch Whisky

Monkey Shoulder is the world’s first triple malt whisky. Unlike other scotches, Monkey Shoulder uses only malt and no grain whisky in its blend, resulting in an exceptionally smooth liquid. All three malt whiskies used in Monkey Shoulder been matured exclusively in Bourbon casks. Each batch of Monkey Shoulder is then blended together in a small marrying tun for between three to six months to make it even smoother and more mellow. Monkey Shoulder is highly versatile and can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks or mixed into your favourite whisky-based cocktail. The name ‘Monkey Shoulder’ is inspired by the malt men whose craft and skill back in the day was demonstrated by turning the malting barley with a shiel, which led to a temporary strain called Monkey Shoulder.   REWARDS Silver Medal, Outstanding, International Wine & Spirit Competition 2013 90/100, Excellent, Highly Recommended, Ultimate Spirits Challenge 2013 Best Blended Malt finalist, World Whiskies Awards 2011 Nose: Delicate floral notes are intertwined with zesty citrus orange and fresh peaches and apricots, with hints of honey and spicy oak.
