Recently it was Chinese New Year and the animal for this year is the Monkey, fittingly I would like to write a review about a very interesting bottle of whisky. So where do we start? Why not with its name … Monkey Shoulders… most whiskies are named after places or people but this whisky is named after a medical condition that malt workers used to get when they turn the malting barley with a shiel (wooden shovel). Great name and great story! Love it!

So you pick up a bottle and read the label… there is allot of information on it…  most of it is about how the liquid within the bottle is the basically the nectar of the Gods…  however behind all the fluff there are some key information which you may use to compare with other bottles of whiskies so you know what exactly you are buying!

The Amrut Fusion, the distillery with the first Indian single malt whisky. Is it good enough to take on the great Scots or the new age whiskies? Will the taste differ? How is this Fusion? Do Pigs Fly? This review will answer nearly all the above questions! Recommend enjoying an Amrut Fusion (Or any sort of whisky) whilst reading this review!
