Monkey Shoulder Whisky

The term 'monkey shoulder' harks back to whisky making heritage. It's a reference to a condition that malt men sometimes picked up while working long shifts, turning the barley by hand. It had a tendency to cause their arm to hang down a bit like a monkey's, so they nicknamed it 'monkey shoulder'. Today, the name Monkey Shoulder lives on as an affectionate tribute, to honour the hard graft of all the malt men past and present.
