Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt

Straw to light caramel color in the glass. Love the nose on this one. Leather, light smoke and honeyed grain. Neat it enters with a light sweetness reminiscent of biscotti. The leather note from the nose is also there, ending in a light and citrusy finish. I enjoyed this one. A definite step up from my regulars, Dewar's White Label and Famous Grouse, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the Dewar's Scratched Cask. A definite keeper for the bar and a solid 4 stars.

First tried on Saturday 23rd January 2016 with Carlyn at Settle Inn pub. Lovely atmosphere definitely helped. Little bit left over in bottle so barwoman very kindly just poured the whole lot in! Citrusy - orange citrus - and very slightly nutty. Alongside a pint of Settle Inn House Lager, went very well together! Had this dram before tackling Laphraoig!
