Scottish University Creates Fabric That Always Smells Like Whisky

Hey mukker! Hou's aw wi ye? Me? A'm fine, slainte! Do ye no speak Scottish, then? Help yourself ta a beaker of coffee and a wee bridie or Scottish tart (nah...leave the waitress alone!) Some interesting news from Scotland...

Johnnie Walker Whiskey and Harris Tweed Hebrides, two of Scotland’s most iconic brands, teamed up with Heriot Watt University to create a new smart fabric that permanently smells like whiskey. Because who doesn’t want their clothes smelling like booze all the time, right?

Recently launched in Berlin, the smelly fabric is said to have key notes of malt, vanilla, red fruits and dark chocolate tones, which closely resemble the aroma of Johnnie Walker Black Label.  

“The unique scent, inspired by the nose of our liquid, echoes the masterful whiskey production process. The key notes of rich malt, golden vanilla, red fruit and the trademark dark chocolate tones have been layered onto the fabric to achieve the unique final nose and finish of the Johnnie Walker Fabric of Flavour”, the famous spirit maker declared in a press release.  

The colors of the fabric match the colors of the Johnnie Walker label (that is, black, gold, and off-white).

"Och, that's just great. Now  when ah get pulled over and the officer says, "Have ye been drinking tonight, sir? Say...what's that smell I detect?

And you say..." Nay, I've no been drinking, officer. Ma kilt smells like a bottle of whiskey!"

And he says... "Did ye say ye kilt a bottle of whiskey? Step out of the car, would you, please, sir. I'd like ye ta wa' in a straight line fer me..."

Guid cheerio the nou eh!
