Monkey Shoulder Description
Small batches of different Speyside single malts expertly blended then married together. An ideal scotch for mixing.
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.
Ultimate Spirits Challenge: 94 Points
This delightful blend presents a ripe nose of baked banana and lemon tart. The palate is racy and fresh and recalls the earlier fruit flavors and adds honeyed oats to create a very accessible whisky pitch perfect for a high ball.

BEST BUY
Intended for mixing, so bring on the whisky sours and the Blood & Sands. Or drink this blended Scotch straight if you choose, to enjoy mouthwatering butterscotch and juicy orange, balanced by oaky tannins into the finish.
