Monkey Shoulder 5cl Miniature

Product Description

Monkey Shoulder uses only malt Scotch whisky from three of Speyside's finest distilleries. This triple malt is catching the attention of the country's leading bartenders for its smooth & rich qualities, making it ideal for mixing as well as drinking in the more traditional way. As Charlotte Voisey, of London's Apartment 195 explains, 'the atractive name & bottle spark curiosity, & once explained, bring a smile to your face.' Rooted in malt whisky lore, Monkey Shoulder is inspired by & 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 given to a temporary injury some malt men occasionaly suffered many years ago as a result of repeatedly bending over whilst turning the malt. Thankfully, working practices have now changed & the condition no longer exists. Crafted in small batches of just 27 casks, Monkey Shoulder's smooth & and rounded taste has accents of malty sweetness, vanilla, marmalade & barley sugar. The iconic bottle design, complete with three brass monkeys
- each representing one of the constituent single malts
- on the bottle's shoulder, is sure to attract confident, liberal minded people with discerning taste & ensures it's not one to hide away in the drinks cabinet!
