A best selling whisky, the Monkey Shoulder Whisky is actually a mix of three different single malts – Glenfiddich, Balvenie and Kinninvie. The three malt components that form Monkey Shoulder blended malt scotch whisky’s smooth, malty and fruit character is a closely guarded secret, featuring an undisclosed combination of different Speyside single malts.

Made with single malts from the company’s three neighbouring Speyside distilleries in Dufftown – Glenfiddich, Balvenie and Kininvie, the blended scotch whisky are first matured in first-fill ex-Bourbon casks, are vatted together in small batches for up to six months before bottling at 40% abv.
