Former Arbroath councillor Jim Millar, who has been awarded for his work to promote the relationship between Scotland and Japan, has launched the world’s first Scottish–Japanese whisky, The Courier reported on 27 October.
Designed to celebrate Thomas Glover, a 19th century Scots industrialist and the founder of Mitsubishi, The Glover blends Longmorn, Glen Garioch, and whisky from one of the few remaining casks of the renowned Hanyu Distillery.
Speaking of the creation, Millar said, “This encompasses trade, culture and, increasingly, education”, adding that “Those who have tasted it, tell us we achieved our goals”.
