No Monkey Business, Just Smooth Sipping
Monkey Shoulder is hands down one of the best introductions to Scotch whisky you could ask for. It’s incredibly smooth, light, and approachable, making it perfect for those who are new to whisky but still want something full of character. The flavour is rich with honey, vanilla, and a gentle maltiness, all blending together in a way that’s silky and easy to enjoy without any harsh edges. The bottle itself has a modern, playful design, with the three little brass monkeys on the shoulder standing out as a signature touch. It feels just as fun and inviting as the whisky inside. Where Monkey Shoulder really shines is its versatility. It’s beautiful neat (soft and sweet without being overwhelming) and just as enjoyable over ice. And if you like a longer drink, it pairs effortlessly with cola, ginger ale, or just about any mixer you can think of, always staying smooth and balanced. Monkey Shoulder isn’t just a great Scotch; it’s a whisky that welcomes everyone, whether you’re a seasoned drinker or just starting your journey. Easy to sip, easy to mix, and always enjoyable. This one is a must-have.

Smooth, Versatile, and Perfect for Mixing or Sipping!
Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt Scotch Whisky is an exceptional choice for both whisky beginners and enthusiasts. Unlike many blended whiskies, this one is made exclusively from malt whiskies, giving it a rich, smooth, and well-balanced flavor that stands out. On the nose, it has a sweet, malty aroma with notes of honey, vanilla, and light oak. The taste is smooth and creamy, with hints of toffee, citrus, and subtle spice, making it incredibly easy to drink. It has a medium finish, with lingering sweetness and a touch of oak. What I love about Monkey Shoulder is its versatility—it’s great neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails like an Old Fashioned or Whisky Sour. It’s smooth enough to sip, but also bold enough to hold its own in mixed drinks. Pros: Exceptionally smooth and easy to drink Rich, malty flavor with sweet and citrusy notes Great for both sipping and cocktails No overpowering smokiness, making it accessible High quality at a reasonable price Cons: Lacks the heavy peat and smoke that some whisky lovers prefer Slightly lower complexity compared to aged single malts Overall, Monkey Shoulder is a fantastic, well-rounded whisky that’s perfect for casual sipping or creative cocktails. If you’re looking for a smooth, high-quality blended malt at a great price, this is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

Feels premium in this price range
This is my first time trying this whiskey. It’s a well designed, smooth, a little bit of every good thing combined in that price range! Loved it and I think the popularity of this whisky is well deserved . I’d like to buy this again if ordering in this price range

Great ingredients
My favourite blended scotch. Great ingredients, balvenie/ glenfiddich . Great as a sip but can be enjoyed with water or stones. Research the origins of the scotch name and be entertained.. must buy.

Got it at a great price

Easily the best blend you can get for the price. Mainly due to the fact that it's a blended malt, no grain spirit. So... Smoother experience. More refined oak notes. Less headaches etc.

Ich habe den Monkey Shoulder inzwischen mehrfach als Geschenk gekauft. Er ist kein „Wow-Moment“-Single-Malt, sondern ein ehrlicher, zugänglicher Blended Malt, der genau das liefert, was man erwartet: solide Qualität, angenehme Süße, null Stolpersteine. Beim Öffnen kommt sofort dieser warme Mix aus Vanille, Honig und etwas Zitrus entgegen. Nichts Lautes, nichts Aufgesetztes – eher die Art von Duft, die man auch Whisky-Einsteigern bedenkenlos unter die Nase halten kann. Am Gaumen bleibt er in der Spur: mild, rund, leicht malzig, ein Hauch Karamell, ein bisschen Eiche, fertig. Das ist bewusst unkompliziert. Und genau das macht ihn so gefährlich trinkbar. Man sollte ihn aber fair einordnen: Wer Tiefe, langen Abgang oder besondere Reifungsnuancen sucht, wird hier nicht fündig. Der Monkey Shoulder ist kein Statement-Whisky, sondern ein zuverlässiger Allrounder. Für Cocktails großartig (gerade in einem Old Fashioned), für einen entspannten Abend pur ebenfalls absolut okay – nur eben ohne große Dramaturgie. Was ihn für mich zu einem sicheren Kauf macht, ist die Preis-Leistung. Für diese Preisklasse liefert er mehr Aroma und Balance als viele vergleichbare Flaschen. Dazu kommt, dass er auch Menschen abholt, die sonst wenig Whisky trinken. Ein seltener Spagat. Fazit: Ein sehr guter, vielseitiger Whisky für Alltag, Gäste und Cocktails. Kein Tiefenwunder, aber ein ehrlich gemachter Crowd-Pleaser, der genau weiß, was er sein will. Ich würde ihn jederzeit wieder kaufen.

Achtung... irreführende Bilder. Abgebildet wird eine 700ml Flasche, verkauft wird aber eine 5ml Fläschchen.

オレンジ系の柑橘や爽やかな洋梨のフルーティな香り! 口当たりはクリーミーな滑らかさがあり、バニラやモルト感のある甘い味わいです。 余韻は程よくスパイシー。 全体的に丸みのある優しい味わいなので、誰にでもオススメできるウイスキーだと思います! 飲み方も選びませんが、個人的にはハイボールが特に美味しかった! たしか以前はスペイサイドのグレンフィディック・バルヴェニー・キニンヴィの3つ蒸留所のモルト原酒のブレンドで「トリプルモルト」と称されていたと記憶していますが、この商品ページにも、モンキーショルダーのHPにも記述がなくなっていたので、現行品は構成原酒が変わっているのかな? どちらにしても、かなり美味しいウイスキーだと思います!!
