Portrait: What makes the Monkey Shoulder special
Wm Grant & Sons Ltd. is the big name behind this blended whisky, which is actually a vatted, as only select malt whiskies are found in Monkey Shoulder.
Just 27 casks from just three different Speyside distilleries are blended together to create one batch of this extraordinarily smooth and fruity whisky.
The result is fine apricot aromas, vanilla tones, and a pleasant maltiness.
The term Monkey Shoulder originates from the time when barley was still turned with shovels during drying on the distilleries' kiln floors.
The "Monkey Shoulder" is nothing more than a scoop for turning the barley.
Tasting Notes: This is what the Monkey Shoulder tastes like
- Nose: fruity aromas of ripe apricots and pears, with soft honey and fresh vanilla - malt and oranges in the background
- Palate: soft and round in flavor - pleasantly fruity with a slight sweetness, again the apricots and pears - over all, now a slight spiciness
- Finish: long and full in the finish - now distinct vanilla and cracked white pepper
