Tasting Notes

Monkey Shoulder Blended Malt Scotch Whisky is crafted from a blend of single malts, traditionally from Speyside distilleries, designed to be smooth, approachable, and versatile. The nose opens with aromas of vanilla, honey, and citrus layered with malt, toasted oak, and a hint of spice. On the palate, it is rich yet easy-drinking, offering flavors of toffee, roasted nuts, cocoa, and baking spice balanced by orange zest and subtle malt sweetness. The texture is creamy and rounded, making it ideal for sipping neat or mixing in cocktails. The finish is medium in length, with lingering notes of vanilla, oak, and soft spice.
