Monkey Shoulder

Found a bottle of Monkey Shoulder (which I mentioned a while ago) in my local Sainsburys of all places. Whisky has actually been pretty good at marketing itself through Supermarkets - while Tesco and Sainsburys both have a good range of malts it's pretty impossible to get, for example, a Bourbon other than Jack.

Anyway - forget about Monkey Shoulder - they've tried to make it palatable to non-whisky drinkers by making it way too sweet. The result is both pretty awful in the mouth with an even more cloying after-taste. The bottle came in handy for Hot Toddies when I caught the Bird-Flu though.
