Name: Monkey Shoulder Blended Scotch Whisky
Brand: Monkey Shoulder
Place of Purchase: Drinks by the Dram Advent Calendar
Country/Region of Origin: Dufftown, Scotland
Tasting Conditions: Room temperature, neat

Nose: Cream, cocoa, vanilla, citrus
Palate: Cream, berry, citrus, caramel
Finish: Smooth, ginger, citrus
Notes: So, I am back after an almost 2-year hiatus. I bought a Whisky Advent Calendar from Master of Malt's Drinks by the Dram line. I am pretty pedestrian in my single-malt choices (Glenmorangie, Balvenie, Dalwhinnie), so I decided to spend this holiday season trying new whiskies (and new wines, but I will post those after Christmas). The advent calendar was pricey, but definitely cheaper than trying 25 whiskies at my local pub.
These blended whiskies are tasty. Considering the pedigree of this blend, it had to taste wonderful.
