A peaty variant of the excellent Monkey Shoulder blended malt! This expression retains all the elements that make it great for use in cocktails and mixed drinks, with the addition of soft peaty hints running through it. Ought to be good in a Penicillin cocktail or served with ginger ale...
Honeydew melon, flamed orange peel, a touch of Frazzles.
Vanilla sits at the core, its earthy notes bolstered by the peat running alongside it. Still enjoyably fruity.
Toffee Crisp bars and the last wafts of drying smoke.

Tastes like something got messed up and they added a bottle of liquid smoke to the barrel to mask the screw up. Can’t quite put my finger on it, but it tastes artificial and cheap. I’m not dumping it down the drain so it gets 2 stars I suppose, but that’s kind of generous considering there’s lot of better less costly options.
Gloriously dark and peaty. Close your eyes and you are sat in a highland forest by a roaring fire. Sweet on the tongue, it caresses the heart with a roughly calloused hand before the warmth of the flame spreads to the tired bones. A whiff of spent charcoal and roasted venison to finish. The monkey grows up.
It’s not bad, but it’s not laphroaig. I’m just glad that a lot of people don’t overrate it like the original monkey shoulder.
What an absolutely horrible drink, tastes like someone has put out a cigarette in my drink.
It literally tastes like they’ve bottle up bonfire smoke. Horrendous
