新型纺织品能永久释放威士忌酒香
A new fabric has been created using Harris Tweed that will permanently give off the smell of whisky.
一种用哈里斯花呢面料发明的新型纺织品能永久性的释放威士忌酒香。
The cloth has been developed by Heriot Watt University's School of Textiles and Design in Edinburgh and Galashiels. The "smart fabric" has been developed for Johnnie Walker Black Label and Harris Tweed Hebrides.
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".
The tweed used was woven at Harris Tweed Hebrides' mill in Shawbost on Lewis and has the colors of the ingredients of Johnnie Walker Black Label.
Brian Wilson, the company's chairman, said the scent was a "subtle aroma" that reflected the "key notes of the nose of the liquid".
The first of a range of products by Milan-based designer Angelos Bratis will be unveiled in Berlin later, before being marketed in Germany, Greece and Belgium.
