Monkey Shoulder Blended Scotch


Monkey Shoulder Blended Scotch
A superb blended malt whisky from William Grant, made with single malts from the companies neighboring distilleries. The result is a smooth, creamy, supple and very malty Scotch which works superbly well neat, over ice, or in whisky cocktails.

Nose: An elegant, stylish nose of marmalade, cocoa and malt. Winter spice (nutmeg, cloves and cinnamon) adds an extra dimension, alongside a mouth-watering hint of aniseed.

Palate: Very malty, creamy delivery which offers up a palate redolent of berry fruit, juicy toasted barley, cloves and butterscotch. A hint of manuka honey, hot-buttered-toast and dried apricot develop.

Finish: Medium length, with clove-studded oranges, creamy vanilla and peppermint.
