Hailing from Scotland and distilled, matured and bottled by William Grant & Sons Ltd,  Monkey Shoulder is made from small batches of different speyside single malts expertly blended then married together. The term ‘monkey shoulder’ harks back to its whisky making heritage. It’s a reference to a condition that maltmen sometimes picked up while working long shifts, turning the barley by hand. This condition causes their arm to hang down a bit like a monkey’s, so they nicknamed it ‘monkey shoulder’. This whisky has a richness and vibrancy which combines flawlessly with fruity aromas and mellow vanilla notes – great for a dad who loves his malt whisky, enjoys mixing them, but not into buying the serious stuff. Priced at S$93 and available at 1855 The Bottle Shop .
