Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt

Orange on nose

Little sweet

Surprisingly smooth and not overly smoky/peaty for what I’d expect for scotch, quite good!

When you’re out of Aberfeldy 12 year and this is in the cupboard, it’s not too bad. A little on the harsh side (not too harsh though), with some sweet flavors and a pleasant finish. A good backup scotch, especially for the cost, it won’t break the bank. I like the back story on the interesting name.
