Whisky typically has a pleasing aroma of caramel, honey, vanilla, and smoked wood. To take advantage of this intoxicating scent, Monkey Shoulder Scotch Whisky created a new whisky-inspired fragrance they're calling Monkey Musk.

Like the Scotch it's inspired by, Monkey Musk flaunts notes of zesty orange, vanilla, honey, and spiced oak. The fragrance comes in a 3.4 oz. bottle that's similar in appearance to a full size bottle of Monkey Shoulder Scotch whisky.

The distillery has brought on actor/comedian Joel McHale to be the face of their new fragrance. McHale expressed his gratitude at the opportunity and playfully added that he's "a little shocked it’s taken me this long to secure a fragrance deal."

“The process of creating whisky is in many ways similar to a perfumer crafting a fragrance,” said Malt Master Brian Kinsman in a statement. “We both prioritize 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.”

You can purchase Monkey Musk on the Monkey Shoulder website for $33.33, and to sweeten the deal you'll also receive a code for a full bottle of the Scotch whisky with your order.
