Monkey Shoulder is a blended scotch whisky. The story behind the name of this Scottish whisky is a very peculiar one: the 'maltmen' who used to stir barley with the help of a shovel, were constantly exposed to draughts that caused them serious rheumatism.
This malting malady was known under the name 'monkey shoulder'. It is as a tribute to these maltsters that the Grant's family, owners of the emblematic Glenfiddich distillery, created this 'triple malt' made from a blend of three single malts (Glenfiddich, Balvenie and Kininvie) with aromas of honey, cinnamon and vanilla.
Amber in colour, the nose is unctuous, balanced. Honeyed, herbaceous (green malt, cut hay) and delicately perfumed (rosewater), it evolves on spices (ginger), liquorice and red fruits (blackberries, raspberries). The palate is fine, fruity. It is marked by dried nuts and sweet spices (cinnamon). It lingers on vanilla, liquorice and creamy notes (milk cream). The finish is long, gourmand. At once fruity (mirabella) and floral (lavender), it develops on notes of chocolate and sultana bread.

Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
