Monkey Shoulder is a so-called Blended Malt Whiskey from Scotland. That is, it is mixed by single malts from different sources (3 famous but secret speyside distilleries), but without the use of Grain Whiskey, which is what makes most blends for a thin cup of tea. Monkey Shoulder has become enormously popular, not only because of the high quality and the low price, but also because it works eminent in cocktails – it is actually “made for mixing” according to themselves!
