Nice whisky for multiple purposes. Good solo but even better on rocks, as part of the drink or with cola.
Nose
Nice, fruits, sweet, light and with caramel hints
Palate
Neat, fruits and citrus hints, it’s simple whisky so it’s hard to expect too much. All in all it’s good product with taste good for the price
Finish
Worst part of whisky, a little bit tart an alcoholic. It does not disqualify but also does not help

Я люблю Speyside. Этот виски представляет собой классический бленд из молтов Speyside. Очень карамельный ванильный вкус, но с высоким, на мой взгляд, уровнем лака. Очень приятный нос. Никаких отрицательных эмоций не вызвал, но и не впечатлил. Аромат однозначно лучше, че вкус. Считаю, что дороговат за свои деньги. Если брать, то со скидками.

sweet, fruity, citrus, like orange, a bit of cinnamon and spice so sweet it almost seems artificial to some extent, to people with who like challenging whiskies this would be dissapointing most of the time, but it does what people need it to, and it does it damn well

Made by blending whisky from 3 distilleries including the Kininvie. Its soft and sweet, but not boring. Floral, earthy, harvesty notes. Nothing intense or edgy. But it tastes genuine, fresh and natural. This is my favorite blend.

General description
Not really my thing but because of some surprising and interesting notes it's not a complete failure to me. If I got it as a gift, I wouldn't be angry 😉
Nose
Nose is voluminous but quite flat and easy. Vanilla, cereals, raspberries, orange cest and a gingery or herbal spiciness.
Palate
A bit more interesting than expected but not too enjoyable for my taste. The herbal touch comes in a medical way and it developes some salt and roasted nuts.
Finish
Finish adstringend and drying with a really metallic bitterness.

Lorden says on July 25, 2017

Too sweet, should be classified as liqueur rather than whisky.
The taste dissipates quickly and leave nothing but a watery remnant behind.
As a basis for your drink, I can recommend this. As a whisky to enjoy neat, I would stay clear.

One of the better blended ones and not very expensive. I've never owned a bottle but have had it a lot when going out. I recommend going with a little water or one cube of ice for this one. As always, I tend to prefer a single malt, so I probably won't buy myself a whole bottle, but you can do a lot worse than Monkey Shoulder.
Roman_Bobryshev says on April 2, 2017

Nice blend from "William Grant & Sons Distillers". Easy drinkable. Sherry sweetness. Also as usual there is E150a (food coloring) in it. It is normal for most scotch and other whiskies, but nonetheless I keep in my mind - this beautiful color is unnatural, for a pity...
