Monkey Shoulder

Blended malts, previously known as "vatted malts" or "pure malts," are whiskies made by blending two or more single malt whiskies from different distilleries. This category allows for the creation of a unique flavour profile that can't be achieved by a single malt alone, combining the best characteristics of various malts. Blended malts offer complexity and can vary widely in taste, from sweet and fruity to spicy and peaty, depending on the malts included in the blend. Notable examples include Compass Box's "Asyla" and "Spice Tree," which showcase innovative blending, or Johnnie Walker's "Green Label," which highlights the harmony of Speyside, Highland, Lowland, and Islay malts. These whiskies appeal to those looking for a bridge between single malts and blended whiskies, offering depth and versatility in whisky appreciation.
