Multiple prizes - The Monkey Shoulder popular worldwide with whisky fans has already won these awards: Gold, International Wine & Spirits Challenge 2022; Gold, International Spirits Challenge 2022; Distiller of the Year, International Spirits Challenge 2016-2021
Make it Monkey - The full-bodied Monkey Shoulder blended malt Scotch whisky tastes mild and fruity. It smells spicy of orange, with hints of honey and vanilla.
Also pure enjoyment – but attention: Monkey first: after a shot of Monkey Shoulder blended malt Scotch whisky, 3 ice cubes come into the glass. Trust us: with good whisky, we don't make ourselves a monkey.
