“Born in Speyside, Scotland, Monkey Shoulder blended malt whisky is crafted for character and versatility,” the brand said.

The Monkey Shoulder name refers to a condition once suffered by maltmen who turned barley by hand, which caused a strain on the shoulder.

The Fred again.. partnership extends this positioning into live events on a global scale. More information is available at monkeyshoulder.com.
