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.

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.

Very good blend of three great Speyside malts (Balvenie, Glenfiddich, Kininvie). Great value and great beginner scotch but in due time one’s palate craves a bit more complexity.

First foray into Scotch whiskey and I must say, I'm impressed. Mild flavor, very little burn and no aftertaste. Fantastic for mixing with cola (Mt. Dew, yum). Glad I started with this brand.

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.

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...
