Monkey Shoulder News

[AVB]

For those of us who have a liking for this stuff:

William Grant & Sons is launching its Monkey Shoulder blended malt Scotch whisky brand in the U.S. market. The new offering debuts today in Illinois, with expansion to Texas slated for later in the year. Monkey Shoulder, which rolled out in the U.K. in 2006, is a blend of malts from Grant’s three Speyside distilleries—Glenfiddich, The Balvenie and Kininvie—and matured in first-fill Bourbon casks. It will sell for around $29 a bottle.

LOL, I just asked a buddy of mine who travels internationally to keep his eyes open for a bottle. I guess I'll just wait until later in the year!

Looking forward to getting some bottles.

Thanks for the heads up, Ray. This has always sounded like a good drink, and at that price point it could become a staple if it is.

Heard a lot of good things about this. I will have to keep my eye out on it, and pick up a bottle when they become available.

Is it too early to post an ISO?

This is proper timing, as I'm down to my last two pours.

Anyone seen or tried this yet?
