Monkey Shoulder Whisky is set to add a spirited twist to Art Basel Miami this year, announcing a weeklong activation at Factory Town from December 3–7.

The beloved Scottish whisky brand, known for its contemporary, rule-breaking approach, will bring a lineup of bold cocktails to one of Miami’s most vibrant cultural hubs, blending art, nightlife, and elevated mixology in a setting that reflects the energy of Basel week.

Taking place at Factory Town’s annual Factory Basel event, the activation invites guests to enjoy live music and immersive art while sampling a trio of inventive cocktails crafted by Monkey Shoulder Whisky.

Visitors can expect refreshing interpretations of classic serves, including the Guava Lemonade, Mango Monkey, and a bright, whisky-forward Whisky Sour.

Each cocktail highlights the spirit’s signature tasting notes of zesty orange, warm vanilla, and ginger spice, flavors that make Monkey Shoulder both versatile in a drink and balanced enough to sip on its own.

Monkey Shoulder’s presence at Art Basel feels like a natural extension of its playful ethos. The brand has built a strong footprint across Miami’s cultural landscape, frequently popping up in spaces that thrive on creativity and community.

Recent appearances include Disco Nap parties in Wynwood, Studio Monkey Shoulder sessions at Dante’s Hifi, and the brand’s popular Battle of the Bars competition at SkateBird Miami. Now, Factory Basel joins that list, marking one of the brand’s most anticipated Miami collaborations yet.

A blend of Speyside single malts, Monkey Shoulder continues to challenge the traditional Scotch whisky mold, appealing to curious newcomers and seasoned whisky drinkers alike.

Its award-winning profile recently earned Double Gold and Best in Class at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, further cementing its reputation as a go-to whisky for both mixology and neat pours.

Even the brand’s name nods to heritage with a wink, referencing an old injury once sustained by malt workers, now reimagined as a symbol of craft and character.

With Factory Town’s expansive art-meets-nightlife environment and Monkey Shoulder’s bold flavor identity, the collaboration promises a standout stop during Art Basel week.

Guests can explore installations, take in cutting-edge performances, and raise a glass to one of the most creatively charged weekends of the year, all with a cocktail in hand that is as expressive as the art and music surrounding it.
