The Spirit of Fun – Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt Whisky.
Monkey Shoulder is a modern classic that broke the mould of traditional Scotch, bringing a fresh, playful spirit to the world of whisky. Crafted from a blend of three exceptional Speyside single malts, it’s designed for both sipping and mixing — smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. This is the whisky that invites you to enjoy Scotch your way, whether neat, on the rocks, or in your favourite cocktail.
From the first pour, Monkey Shoulder greets you with vibrant aromas of vanilla, honey, and toasted malt, followed by a silky palate of creamy toffee, soft spice, and subtle oak. There’s no smoke here — just a deliciously smooth, malty sweetness that makes it one of the most approachable and mixable whiskies ever made.
For whisky drinkers in Ireland, Monkey Shoulder represents a new generation of Scotch — fun, versatile, and expertly crafted. It’s as comfortable in a high-end cocktail as it is in a quiet evening dram, proving that great whisky doesn’t have to take itself too seriously.
Why we love it:
Monkey Shoulder rewrote the whisky rulebook – making a premium malt that’s approachable, versatile, and ready to play in cocktails. It’s smooth enough to sip but shines brightest when you get creative, whether it’s a highball, an Old Fashioned, or your own invention. It bridges the gap between whisky purists and cocktail explorers, bringing everyone together for good times.
