Monkey Shoulder Appreciation Society

Monkey Shoulder - the astoundingly smooth, triple blended 'whisky' that probably offends true Scotsmen by its very existence - is hosting a series of 'Appreciation' events.

Described (modestly) as 'witty, intelligent and insightful', the events are dedicated to the 'life pursuits of the modern man' (grunt, chest-butt).

The upcoming event - the second in the series - features Jason Lewis, who was the first person to circumnavigate the globe using only human power (it took 13 exhausting years).

The talk is on November 27th at the Hospital (24 Endell Street, WC2), from 6.30 to 9 pm. The event is free, with free Monkey-based cocktails, but there's extremely limited seating.

Looking ahead, January 25th will be 'The Art of Whisky and Cigar Appreciation', hosted by the editor of Whisky Magazine. More whisky, less pedal-based travel... that's something I can appreciate.
