Kurayoshi Pure Malt Sherry Cask
Blended Malt — Multiple Countries
Reviewed October 15, 2019 (edited April 13, 2022)A sherry-aged treat that’s not overly grapey-sweet. It’s complex and full with an herbal dried fruit flavor that’s rich and lightly spicy. The sweetness comes through after the oaky first notes and lingers with a briny tart finish that invites you back.Frankfurt Airport (FRA) -
Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt
Blended Malt — Speyside, Scotland
Reviewed February 10, 2015 (edited December 25, 2022)Nice clear cereal tones with bright sweet honey water and light butter. A lightly sweet clear bright mild burn, golden fruit with a tiny pepper finish. Lovely. -
This is really interesting- it's sweet but not in a toffee/vanilla heavy way, instead it's incredibly light like a delicate thin fruit juice. It's clear and bright, with moderate burn. The nose is off-putting to me, astringent, which knocks it from a 4 to a 3. The "hay" note might be right on. Not that rich caramel some have. Still, it pairs nicely with rich foods, cheese and chocolate because it's so clear and fine. Like pears and green grass and a touch of honey.
