Smokey Blended malt whisky at 40 % abv. This one is batch 9 even though this is good it’s not as good as the original monkey shoulder, it feels as if the smoke is an after thought and has been added just to have a Smokey version rather than being a part of the the full process to produce a nice tasting whisky at reasonable price. It’s still good and good could see myself getting another one if it’s on sale somewhere when I’m traveling.
Launched in 2013 this was aged in first fill sherry casks, is based on whisky from Highland Park and Macallan. Abv of 40% smooth sweet very nice easy to drink alround whisky.
Sweet with some light smoke, matured first in bourbon and finished in Olofsson sherry for 3 years. Very smooth and a nice Bowmore at 43% abv.

A 43 % abv speyside single malt. Again for me this is a whisky that didn’t say a lot. It’s ok and I would buy it again if it’s on sale.
More interestingly tif you head to the whisky destillery it’s location is next to a cemetery. It makes for a great visit since the “non proven” relation with the Baudoinia compniacens fungus that grows on the headstones.
Unfortunately it seems there is no visitor center so arrangements must be made upfront if a tour at the destillery is desired.
More about the destillery on the official page or the wiki.
Yes, this is a really nice whisky or should I say was. Now it has been immortalized by having the last drops of its 40 % abv content added to the king of blends …. The sofiero blend !
The destillery is on the the Orkney islands which is the most northern whiskey region in Scotland.
