    I know there are plenty of people on here who live outside of North America. Has your region been blessed with this wonderful whisky? Here in America it runs for about $30 a bottle and it is hands down some of the best quality whisky you can get for that price range. 3 Speyside single malts blended to perfection. The name is derived from a common medical condition that plagued the malt turners. Having their one should stooped down all day while slinging barley left them with a stooped shoulder. They referred to this condition as monkey shoulder. This blend is advertised as being made for mixed drinks but i love it neat or on the rocks. Strong notes of honey and banana nut bread. If you havent tried this and you enjoy a good Speyside I highly recommend you grab a bottle (If its available). Excellent dram all around! Cheers!

    I can buy it in Sweden. It has a a decent price but a bit overpriced at the alchol monopoly here in Sweden. But in taxfree it is one of the most value whiskies that one can buy. Very cheap.


    But I have to say that I haven't tasted it yet so I don't know how it tastes.

    @bedlamborn You should definitely pick some up and try it! I think you'll really enjoy it. And it has probably the coolest looking bottle ive seen in awhile, lol

    Here in Portugal, you can find it at sub €30 in most of liquor stores. For the price, it is a bang for the buck. It is also a pretty cellar defender, when you have unexpected visits unworthy of your premium stuff.

    @DramTasticVoyage I agree 100%. I think this is a very good scotch whiskey. I pay $30 at my nearest, favorite liquor store, but I've seen it for as low as $26.00. It's 100% malted scotch from 3 very good Speyside Distilleries. Really enjoy this one. horst_s, I've been looking for your review on this one.

    @rbdeli I too am looking forward to a review on this from @horst_s ! I'm sure it's available in Germany so finding a bottle shouldn't be an issue
