Monkey Shoulder uses only malt Scotch whisky from three of Speyside's finest distilleries. This triple malt makes it ideal for mixing as well as drinking in the more traditional way. Monkey Shoulder is inspired by and named in honour of the malt men at William Grant, who are among the few still to turn the malting barley by hand using a sheil (wooden shovel). Monkey Shoulder was a nickname that was given to a temporary injury some malt men occasionaly suffered many years ago as a result of repeatedly bending over whilst turning the malt. Crafted in small batches of just 27 casks, Monkey Shoulder's smooth and rounded taste has accents of malty sweetness, vanilla, marmalade and barley sugar. This whisky has a distinctive design on the bottle's shoulder showing three brass monkeys, each representing one of the constituent single malts.

This vatted malt was originally created by Compass Box for a New York customer who wanted a big, smoky, rich whisky. The lead distilleries in the mix are Caol Ila and Ardmore aged between 10 and 15 years old. After vatting the blend has been re-casked to allow the full flavours of the whiskies to come out. This one is big and peaty, with a smoky finish that never ends
