Popping the tight cork, a blast of honey and caramelized sugars floated out of the pretty bottle. Vanilla and a whiff of musty grain. A very inviting nose and even breathed deeply - nothing signaling the immaturity expected at this price point. On the tongue figgy sweet and a dash of woody spice. Overall mouthfeel and flavor is light with a short finish that finally unveils the youthfulness bottled here. Amidst the slightly spicy fish a faint aroma of raisin toast. Overall a hell of a deal for the price and a guiltless and happy dram! For my tastes the sweet and feisty nature of Naked Grouse bests the easy going and conspicuous Monkey Shoulder for a value tier drink.
