Monkey Shoulder is a bit gimicky-it's basically a 'posh' blend at the price of a decent single malt. Being Scottish and having worked in the trade, if you're going for a blend the best (highest proportion of single malts for the money/tase) is Baillie Nicol Jarvie or 'BNJ'-used to be able to get it in Oddbins.
OR..
My favourite at the moment is Laphroig Quarter Cask.. Have yourself a mini tasting between this and the regular 10 year old-its' made is casks a quarter the size-the way it used to be made in order ot transport them on the back of horses-the result is more exposure to wood per volume=sweeter, smoother taste and better ageing.
or, try the Talisker 18 if you are feeling fruity-it is fucking gorgeous. Or the Bunnahabhain. It's an Islay malt so you'd expect smokey... but its not. Lush.
