Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt

Haven’t had in a couple of years, tried it again to see how it held up. Actually it holds up very well. Honey, green apple, malt; this isn’t an oak influenced whisky, it is all about the malt. It’s simple, and quite tasty. For the price this is a fantastic deal.

Nose: soft spice, hint of honey and mild clove, brown sugar, a bit like spiced apple pie with a hint of dried apricot Taste: very soft, very light, a little citrus/fruit all falvours are mild, vanilla,butterscoth, not very complex Finish: quite short, with a hint of spice. It is a nice pleasant whiskey, nice as a daily sipper, but a little underwhelming overall. The nose promises, but the body and finish do not deliver.
