Personally I find all of them very smooth, especially with a small drop of water. That may well be the case. Monkey Shoulder was introduced to try to get the younger generation interested in Scotch I believe. May be talking shite. Anyhow if Scotch is your tipple enjoy. Plenty do likewise and fair play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its got the sweetness of bourbon, the spiciness of a single malt and put together it makes for a silky gobful of joy. Worth a punt vs the normal Woodford? Big difference?

It's all to do with the triple distilling compared to two with scotch. Never tried any beyond Jamesons. Might give some a bash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re feeling generous to yourself get a bottle of Redbreast. It’s amazing Otherwise go for a Bushmills. Their best for me is the “Shirley Bassey”.....Black Bush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whiskey needs to be at room temp putting it in the fridge causes it to reduce the amount of vapour it gives off and as we all know, smell is half the experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is no longer toast. I prefer to listen to the makers than some white coat boff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s much sweeter, and smokier than scotch. You can get rye bourbon which is closer to scotch in terms of sharpness and bite. Woodford Reserve or Bulliet are both superb examples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
