The holidays bring crowds to your home. And crowds typically want booze. Which means it’s time to carefully assess your personal bar.
Ice bucket: check.
Rocks glasses: check.
Bottle of a specific blended malt scotch whisky that can and should be used to make all your guests mixed drinks this winter: ... maybe not quite check yet.
Mouth, meet Monkey Shoulder; Monkey Shoulder, meet mouth. It’s a convention-breaking scotch that you’re encouraged to make into cocktails in the very near future, available now.
Let’s say you’re drinking Monkey Shoulder at a holiday party. A curious someone will inevitably ask you what a blended malt is. You’ll remind them that it’s a blend of three single malts with no grain whisky. They’ll ask if it’d be good in a hot toddy. You’ll say, of course—and it’s also superb in an Old Fashioned. And a Boulevardier. And lots of other things.
Then you might even explain how this particular liquid is an award-winning spirit that was created by legendary malt master David Stewart and produced by an equally decorated distiller. They’ll say, “You don’t say.” You’ll say, “I do say.”
And then you’ll stop talking and start sipping. |
