Being told you reek of whisky is no longer a bad thing! (Image Source: Monkey Shoulder)

Blended malt whisky brand Monkey Shoulder is releasing a limited edition Scotch-scented perfume called Monkey Musk, said to carry the scent of blended malt - with characteristic notes of orange zest, vanilla, honey and spicy oak. 

According to Malt Master Brian Kinsman: 

The process of creating whisky is in many ways similar to a perfumer crafting a fragrance. We both prfioritize the quality of elements going into the blend and spend hours perfecting the combination of different notes. It’s a science, and the beautiful blend of Monkey Shoulder deserved to be replicated as a fragrance since it’s made up of tasting notes you’d typically find in leading fragrances.
