Tasting Notes

Aroma:
The aroma of Monkey Shoulder is a blend of zesty orange, vanilla, honey, and spiced oak. Some people detect subtle hints of fresh pear and apple, adding a layer of complexity.

Palate:
On the palate, Monkey Shoulder is creamy and malty, with flavors of butterscotch, vanilla fudge, cloves, and touches of berry or dried fruit. These flavors create a rich and satisfying mouthfeel.

Finish:
The finish is medium in length, smooth, and features a touch of spicy oak. A hint of peppermint or cinnamon warmth lingers, providing a satisfying end to the tasting experience.

Balance, Complexity:
In my tastings, Monkey Shoulder offers a well-balanced profile. The malt sweetness, vanilla, and spice are well integrated, while the light fruitiness and oak add layers of complexity. It is a versatile whisky that is easy to enjoy neat or in cocktails.
