Monkey Shoulder - Blended Scotch (750ml)

Nose: Delicate floral notes are intertwined with a zesty citrus orange and soft fresh fruits (peaches and apricots).  Hints of honey and spicy oak enveloped with a rich vanilla sweetness.

Taste: Beautifully sweet and a rich vanilla flavour.  Brown sugar and creamy toffee balanced with oak notes and just a hint of spice (cinnamon and nutmeg).

Finish: Exceptionally smooth with a lingering sweetness.

TOP 100 SPIRITS 2020
This blended Scotch opens with a bright, fresh-cut apple aroma. On the palate, butterscotch richness gives way to mild hints of smoke and juicy citrus. This versatile pour could be enjoyed on its own or recommended for mixing. Kara Newman, 12/31/2020.

Best Value

Never more than an arm’s length away from most bartenders, this blended malt, launched in 2005, has been a game changer. Bottled at a higher strength, this has fresh green apples, buttercream, lime, and kumquat, with a fresh acidic tartness, butterscotch, crushed peppercorn, and dried chili flakes. Dark toffee, Brazil nut, chocolate, peppery spices, and toasted oak on the palate. Lively finish of spice and chocolate toffee. Best Value, Jonny McCormick, Spring 2019.
