Monkey Shoulder 1.75L

I’ve been using Monkey Shoulder for years, and this big 1.75L bottle means I don’t have to restock nearly as often—it’s perfect for making Scotch cocktails without running out mid-party. The whisky itself is smooth enough to sip neat but stands up well in a mixer, which is exactly what I need.

The 1.75L bottle is a serious value for anyone who goes through whisky at a decent clip, and it pours beautifully clean over a single ice cube. I've been using it as my go-to for old fashioneds and it holds its own neat too, which is rare for a bottle this size.

The nose on this is surprisingly smooth for a blended Scotch—honey and vanilla come through nicely. I've been enjoying it in Rob Roys, and it mixes without losing its character. A full 1.75L means I won't run out anytime soon.
