Paddy Triple Distilled Matured in Oak Irish Whiskey
Paddy Whiskey is distilled three times from the finest quality barley and water. This ensures a whiskey which is particularly light well balanced and pure.Its relatively low pot-still content and uniquely high proportion of malt whiskey ensures Paddy is “One of the softest of all Irish Whiskeys” – Jim Murray In 1920s and 1930s Ireland whiskey was sold in casks from the distillery to wholesalers who would in turn sell it on to publicans. Cork Distilleries Company was very proud of the strong reputation which its whiskey had earned and wanted to prevent any fluctuation in whiskey quality due to bonder underhandedly diluting the casks.Thus the company was one of the first to bottle their whiskey which became known as Paddy. NoseFresh and lively aromatic – a complex interplay of nutty maltiness woodland fragrances and spice with hints of honey and vanilla.TasteMild soft a distinctive mellow maltiness a touch of sweet oil spiciness – and again those background notes of honey vanilla toasted wood.FinishA sweetness gently fading mellow maltiness and mild woody notes lingering pleasingly.

Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt Whisky 70cl
Monkey Shoulder uses only malt Scotch whisky from three of Speyside’s finest distilleries. This triple malt is catching the attention of the country’s leading bartenders for its smooth and rich qualities, making it ideal for mixing as well as drinking in the more traditional way. As Charlotte Voisey, of London’s Apartment 195 explains, ‘the atractive name and bottle spark curiosity, and once explained, bring a smile to your face.’
Rooted in malt whisky lore, Monkey Shoulder is inspired by and named in honour of the malt men at William Grant, who are among the few still to turn the malting barley by hand using a sheil (wooden shovel). Monkey Shoulder was a nickname given to a temporary injury some malt men occasionaly suffered many years ago as a result of repeatedly bending over whilst turning the malt. Thankfully, working practices have now changed and the condition no longer exists.
Crafted in small batches of just 27 casks, Monkey Shoulder’s smooth and and rounded taste has accents of malty sweetness, vanilla, marmalade and barley sugar. The iconic bottle design, complete with three brass monkeys – each representing one of the constituent single malts – on the bottle’s shoulder, is sure to attract confident, liberal minded people with discerning taste and ensures it’s not one to hide away in the drinks cabinet!
