Insider knowledge: Monkey Shoulder Blended Scotch Whisky is named whisky by virtue of the fact it's from Scotland. If distilled in America the spelling would be Monkey Shoulder Blended Scotch Whiskey, as opposed to whisky.
Nose: An elegant, stylish nose of marmalade, Crema Catalana, cocoa and malt. A sprinkling of 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 on the tail. ...more

One of the best blended whisky as is consists of three single malts.

Wow I have never recommended a malt before but this is stunning! I have £70+ bottles that are not as good.. for me the you can really taste the balvenie, which is no bad thing... try it! you will not find a better <£30 blend

bought this out of curiousity and drank it in a month, not me but everyone that tried it wanted more. I love single malts and the only blend I usually buy is Black Grouse or Black Bush, not any more. Try it, you will not be dissapointed, I wasnt.

This is a surprise.. why? ,because it is GOOD. Another great surprise is the buying price.Easy to drink as a regular dram. Not usually fond of blends, but his is a blend of whiskies that unite in unique synergy!!
Great
Srooling over this gem... A complexity hidden behind a simplicity. Can't ask for a better casual swig!

Having read all the reviews I will not open my bottle but leave it to my sons on my demise.
I'm a born liar.
Not for me
I see all these reviews with 4+ stars (8+ rating), and therefor I felt the need to express my own experience which is totally the opposite. I only had 1 glass (which I did not finish) and gave the bottle away, for me it was way too easy to drink. Too sweet in my opinion, especially the palate.
