Monkey Shoulder - Blended Malt Whisky - 40%

Falstaff Bar- & Spiritsguide 2018 - 92pts: *Eine Fülle von Minze, Bergamotte, Heu und weißem Pfeffer. Am Gaumen gesellen sich rote Beeren und Ingwer dazu. Die Malzigkeit kommt im Abgang voll durch und klingt harmonisch mit leichter Würze aus.* 10/2017

Jim Murray´s Whisky Bible 2019 – 79,5 pts: *Nose 21, taste 21.5, finish 18, balance and overall complexity 19. Been a while since I lasted tasted this one. Though its claims to be Batch 27, I assume all bottlings are Batch 27 seeing as they are from 27 casks. This one, whichever it is, has a distinctive fault found especially at the finale, which is disappointing. Even before hitting that point a big toffee personality makes for a pleasant if limited experience.*
