三隻猴子調和純麥威士忌 MONKEY SHOULDER BLENDED MALT SCOTCH WHISKY (700ML)
三隻猴子100%麥芽威士忌1000ml 《三隻猴子》的名稱來自於傳統威士忌製程。酒廠中的翻麥工人長時間以手工翻動發芽中的大麥，這樣辛苦的勞動使他們經常雙臂無力、下垂，於是他們便戲稱自己有「猴子肩膀」（Monkey Shoulder）。為了感念翻麥工人的付出與辛勞以及紀念這項傳統工藝，於是混合了三家酒廠的調和式威士忌《三隻猴子》Monkey Shoulder從此誕生。格蘭父子首席調酒師 Brian Kinsman是這樣形容的Monkey Shoulder:『它擁有麥芽威士忌都該具備的不凡特質，卻沒有任何刻板印象的包袱』。
香氣：初始為花香氣息，陣陣柑橘果香撲鼻而來，繼之而起的是蜂蜜與橡木的香氣。
風味：迷人的香草甘甜融合了太妃糖般的豐富口感，伴隨肉桂與香料氣息增添層次感。尾韻獨特，香甜滑順，入喉後韻味持續性強。

Monkey Shoulder's easy-drinking blend of three single malts - Balvenie, Glenfiddich and Kininvie. Named after the injury distillery workers were prone to suffering as a result of turning the malt. An elegant, stylish nose of marmalade, Crema Catalana, cocoa and malt. Plenty of vanilla and a sprinkling of winter spice alongside a mouth-watering hint of aniseed. The palate is very malty, creamy delivery with a suggestion of berry fruit. Juicy toasted barley, cloves and butterscotch. Manuka honey.
