Smokey Monkey is a small-batch blend of top-notch single malts, each chosen to create a smooth whisky with subtle oaky smokiness on the nose, with a taste that combines dry peaty notes with the trademark creamy sweetness and spice of Monkey Shoulder original. The underlying sweetness in Smokey Monkey makes it delicious when neat (or with a splash of water), but the liquid really comes into its own in Smokey twists on classic cocktail serves. For the past five years, Monkey Shoulder has been voted as Top Trending Scotch Whisky in Drinks International, by the world's best bars. It was these bartenders that helped us to develop a peated whisky that was approachable neat and of course, made for mixing.
