Imagine this: one day you wake up at the country club in your finest tweed only to find the bar is fresh out of whisky. “Darn,” you think, “if only I personally carried the scent of whisky on my person so I didn’t have to rely on bar drinks.” Congratulations, John, all your dreams have come true– whisky scented fabric is now a thing.
BBC News reports on this important issue:
The scent called Aqua Alba has been designed to replicate aromas released from a glass of whisky, known as the nose of the liquid.
According to Johnnie Walker, the cloth smells of “rich malt, golden vanilla, red fruit and dark chocolate tones”. […]
Donald Mackay, who heads the finishing department at the mill, said: “I have worked with aromas in the past but they were only meant to withstand one dry clean.
“The process we have devised for Johnnie Walker means that this scent is layered into the fabric throughout the finishing process and is permanently imbued in the tweed.”
