Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt Scotch Whisky (The Original) is a premium Speyside blended malt Scotch whisky crafted by William Grant & Sons. It is blended from 100% single malt whiskies sourced from three legendary Speyside distilleries, matured in first-fill ex-bourbon casks. Free of any grain whisky, it is celebrated for its incredibly smooth, sweet, and fruit-forward character. The nose offers delightful aromas of orange zest, creamy vanilla, spiced honey, and rich malt. On the palate, it delivers luscious notes of butterscotch, vanilla custard, toasted oak spice, and a hint of fresh mint, finishing with a lingering, silky warmth.
