Monkey Shoulder Batch27 – Scotch

Posted on by Romance

This is a highly popular Scotch amongst whisky drinkers. The price is considered budget and its very easy to drink, the bottle often seems to be empty or nearly halfway there. The branding for monkey shoulder is brilliant and I recommend their website to view, the mouse wheel is needed for a cool effect. www.monkeyshoulder.com or for sale HERE or on one of the three bottles above.

What is Monkey Shoulder

Monkey Shoulder (monkey) is a term for a condition that people would get who used to stir the malt barley and the copper pots. Basically a bad working condition side effect that resulted in a defect. The three monkeys represents three distillery’s in-which the original single malts came from. They are Speyside distiller’s and the monkeys(different malts) make eyes with each other and “marry together”. They are progressive, and as I drink this as a sipper and maybe a cocktail. They encourage this as a mixing whisky as its pretty “robust” and they say it has a “playful attitude” to encourage a new generation of whisky drinkers.

Bunnahabhain Stiuireadair – Scotch

This lovely whisky is one that I enjoyed both as a straight sipper and as a mix with my easy mix of ginger ale, ice and bitters. The Ginger ale or Ginger beer combines with the slight spice, mellow earthy and sweet flavours. Rather spectacularly in my opinion.

How Much Grain to Make One Bottle of Whisk(e)y?!

Posted on by Romance

It’s something I’ve often thought about. When watching documentary’s and seeing images of tours. Vast levels of open grains sitting out to germinate, massive mashes and washes. The big copper vats. And then the endless rows of barrels. Obviously it’s thousands of bottled worh. But for me at least it’s hard to vision the ratio especially for one bottle.

Here’s a Video on YouTube of the Whiskey Tribe discussing and showing how much grain is needed for one bottle of whisk(e)y
