The Monkey Shoulder Story

Before delving into the intricacies of Monkey Shoulder Whiskey with Peanut Butter, let's acquaint ourselves with the spirit's origins.

Monkey Shoulder's name originates from the traditional method of turning the malting barley by hand. Workers would sometimes get a painful strain called "monkey shoulder," hence the playful name for this whisky blend.

Monkey Shoulder's Blend: A Marriage of Malts

Glenfiddich, the world's most awarded single malt, brings a fruity and floral sweetness to Monkey Shoulder. Balvenie, renowned for its honeyed, nutty flavors, adds depth and richness, while Kininvie, known for its zesty, tropical notes, provides a refreshing twist. Together, these malts create a harmonious blend with a velvety smooth texture and a long, satisfying finish.
