Smokey Monkey is a small-batch blend of excellent single malts, each chosen to create a smooth whisky with subtle oaky smokiness on the nose, with a taste that combines dry peaty notes with the trademark creamy sweetness and spice of original Monkey Shoulder. The underlying sweetness in Smokey Monkey makes it delicious when neat (or with a splash of water), but the liquid really comes into its own giving a Smokey twist on classic cocktail serves.
Nose – An elegant nose with hints of oak driving the bouquet. Interesting creme brulee notes leading to generous caramelised fruits and finally polished oak.
Palate – Sweet and concentrated start with some jammy blackcurrant fruitines. Typical tightening towards the back palate.
