They developed a fabric designed to smell like whiskey. Heriot-Watt University worked with the makers of Johnny Walker Black Label and Harris Tweed. They claim they created a subtle scent attractive to some. It's clothing for the person who wants to look like a tall drink of water and smell just like a highball.
