While some might be opposed to the idea of smelling like booze all the time, Harris Tweed decided smelling like whiskey was a good thing and partnered up with Johnnie Walker Scotch. Unlike other scented garments where the odor wears off after a certain amount of time or through various washes, this jacket has a permanent aroma.
Called Aqua Alba, the scotch-like smell is of "rich malt, golden vanilla, red fruit and dark chocolate tones" according to the whiskey brand. Combining two things Scotland is known for, Harris Tweed has scent layered into the fabric, making it imbued permanently.
As much as whiskey lovers will appreciate it, it is probably best not to wear while driving or at seriously professional parties.
