Name: Monkey Shoulder Age: ? ABV: 40% Setup: Two glencairn glasses with an ounce pour each. I put 3 ml water in one of them. I let the drinks rest for 10-15 mins before tasting them. Appearance: Amber. Medium leg and not as runny as with water. With water: Light Amber. Seems to have skinny legs that are runny, Nose: Honey, floral notes initially. Nice malty flavors come through. With water: Initially I got mainly alcohol, then there was some citrus followed by honey and vanilla, but very faint.There was also a touch of apple. 82/100 Taste: Similar to as had with water, flavor are stronger though and more enjoyable. With water: Got some spice and honey with nice warm mouth coat. A bit of bitterness. 84/100 Finish: Lots of spice, even without water the burn is very limited and hence very enjoyable. There is hint of tartness also which i did not get when water was added. With water: Dry and short.Goes down easy with pretty much no burn. Nice and smooth finish 86/100 Conclusion: A nice blend of three single malts that I enjoyed very much. I really liked the spicyness and the light citrus and honey/vanilla flavours. They wiere not too strong. This is the only blended malt that i have tried but compared to other blends like JW12 or CR12 i would this has a slight edge but if i was in the mood for something smokey then JW12 would be a better choice. Overall pretty nice, i would keep it in my bar for sure. I hear this is also very good with cocktails...i am not much of a cocktails guy but i might try one with monkey shoulder. Overall Score: 84/100
