Monkey Shoulder is what is called Blended Malt. This means only Single Malt Scotch whiskies have been used to create this bottled spirit. The distillery single malts that go into making Monkey Shoulder are all William Grant and Sons distilleries and all direct neighbours to each other. These distilleries are: Glenfiddich, The Balvenie, Kininvie.

Running events like these are not cheap so be sure to show your appreciation and at the same time find out more about the 3 iconic brands that go into making up this blended malt.
