‘Batch 27’ didn’t have the snappiest ring to it and instead we named our whisky Monkey Shoulder in tribute to our whisky heritage and in 2003 we set out to give the whisky world a good old fashioned shake up.
But our perfect blend didn’t and so we ended up creating a new category of Scotch ‘a blend of malts’ that no one else had ever released before. With this brief in mind, an epic blend of Scotch malt whiskies were chosen to create the perfect whisky for mixing and as you will see from our bottle the blend that was chosen was called batch 27.Īt the time the idea of blending only malt whiskies was a novel one because blends usually included some grain whisky. Still family owned today, William Grant & Sons has been distilling the finest Scotch whiskies since 1887.Įarly in the 2000’s the team at William Grants recognised an opportunity to bring the world of Scotch to a much bigger audience through championing cocktails and mixed drinks as a new way to enjoy Scotch. Monkey Shoulder is born of one of the oldest whisky making Scottish families in the world, William Grant & Sons. “Richness and vibrancy combine with fruity aromas and mellow vanilla notes, making it perfect for mixing”
Never one to stay quiet at a party, the smooth, malty and fruity character is bold enough to stand out in a drink, but balanced enough not to take it over. Get a lovely whiff of zesty orange, vanilla, honey and spiced oak before tasting mellow vanilla with spicy hints as you enjoy a cheeky sip. Monkey Shoulder was originally created to make perfect whisky cocktails and has been getting in the mix ever since.
