Monkey Shoulder

General description

Élégant

General description

Very smooth and no harshness but the flavour and smell fade quickly. Nothing wrong with it but not distinctive.

General description

mellow, buttery, peat finish

General description

goeie smaak, gerust vaker kopen

General description

Not all blended scotches are made equal, so don't sleep on this one. Tastes like a barrel dipped in melted butterscotch. Lovely on the pallet and the wallet.

General description

very nice banana and vanilla flavor.Easy to drink.Good price

General description

My gateway into whisky: smooth, friendly, easy to drink. Sweet on the nose and palate; caramel, vanilla. A solid whisky.

Love the monkey’s on the bottle!

General description

easy drinker. good idea of what a blended malt can be at a low price point.

General description

overwhelming banana in both nose and taste. with a bit of green apple and honey

General description

strong smoke notes that linger on the pallet. I taste literally nothing else.

General description

Easily one of the best beginner whiskeys. Bright and not too complex, notes of apple or pear with the slightest spice note.

Very nice blend, easy sipping and an all-around crowd pleaser.

General description

Sweet and rich with a spicy finish; great value whisky that has plenty of taste and character.

General description

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

General description

Smooth, easy everyday sipper

General description

God og rund whisky der det er vanskelig definere en smak, men det er hint av vaniljesmak.

General description

bra wiskey, med fin avsluttande vanilje smak

General description

geur: fruitig, zacht, fris
smaak: duidelijk spicy, friszoet, flink aanwezig houtsmaak
finish: niet zo lang, licht pitje

General description

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

rather sweet and very smooth

General description

Pretty good scotch, not too much peat well blended.

General description

One of those you need to mix with coke... I'm very disappointed.

General description

Nice beginner whisky.

General description

Incredible value. not the best you will ever have, but nothing wrong with this considering the price tag.

General description

a good wisjey

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.

General description

Good blend with vanilla and peaty notes.

General description

Gewoon lekkere goede whisky voor een leuke prijs

General description

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.

Voor het geld is het een whisky die in je kast hoort.

General description

Tried this with a friend, and he wholeheartedly agreed......this whisky smells and tastes like vomit.
I can't go near this stuff.

General description

good cheap

General description

en dejlig let begynder whisky.

General description

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.

General description

One reason I give this goodness a 95. It is excellent for mixing cocktails. Highly recommend for a inexpensive scotch.

General description

great stuff would definitely recommend!

General description

Not bad, but the taste is completely gone after 2 seconds. Good for mixing with cola I guess.

General description

floral notes, easy beginner scotch, toffee and banana flavor, hint of brown sugar

General description

Smooth, dry aftertaste
honey , vanilla

General description

my first blend and was a bit disappointed. not much depth in the flavors

General description

found it diluted... with no real flavours confirmed.

General description

The first blend i have had. not the best.

Nose

Palate

spice but not a nice spice

Finish

strong alcohol aftertaste

Exceptional value, at under $50 AU this is a great everyday dram. Versatile and well balanced. For a blend this has identity, sweet with notes of vanilla and honey.

General description

I was skeptical about this at first but when I open it up nice Aroma Nice taste

General description

Good for after work sip!

General description

Very drinkable. Sweet, soft and smooth. Great starter!

General description

Very smooth and flavoursome for a young whisky. Hints of marzipan on the finish.

General description

Decent blended whiskey, perhaps a little too floral on the nose. But I like the smoothness, the vanilla, and the oak.

butterscotch type warm buttered toast feel. My new favourite blend 😎🥃

General description

mild

General description

Smoky smell but fruity taste. It has a rough feel that is displeasing for me since I prefer single malt whiskies.

General description

A great Whisky to taste, it's so smooth as mentioned it can be mistaken for a Single malt. all in all, a great after taste and a bottle needed in every house

General description

Very smooth and mild whisky.
After taste is not very strong and doesn't last very long, but a nice whisky.

General description

nice vanilla, a bit of fruit

General description

nez vanille, miel corsé en bouche... longueur moyenne

General description

Really nice. Sweet, gentle, quite smooth and a bit floral. Not overly complex or with a strong finish but very pleasant to drink. A great entry whisky and a good casual dram, which is sometimes all you need.

Nose

Toffee, raisin.

Palate

Floral, vanilla, toffee, slight nuttiness.

Finish

Some dried fruit.

General description

A smooth taste. for me not to special

General description

Vanilla vanilla vanilla !! :P

General description

I do not understand why you are so fond of it. I even wondered if there was not a problem with my bottle ...
It's the worst of my collection.

General description

smooth and a bit bright

General description

soft. fast fade of after taste. nice whiskey for beginner introduction.

General description

Smooth and delicious. Thoroughly enjoyable.

General description

For this price, a very tasteful blend.

General description

smooth just nothing special

General description

Maybe a bit too sweet. Fast fade of taste, but a really "well done" blend.

General description

A very nice blend, vanilla and honey. It became one of my favorite.

General description

This is my favorite blended Scotch. Mildly sweet, smooth, delicious, and affordable!

General description

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.

Mildly sweet, nice honey scent.

very affordable blend. vanilla/honey and a smooth finish. nice one for beginners and the more experienced.

Bon rapport qualité prix pour ce malt blend.

General description

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.

General description

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...

General description

not bad

General description

Good, pleasant dram, for a blend. Definitely entry-level scotch, but a well-done one.

향긋한 과일향이 확퍼지고 향은 부드러운편
