An Angus man launched
what is thought to be the world’s first fusion of Scottish and Japanese
whiskies.
Jim Millar, a former
Arbroath councillor who has won several awards for his work in promoting the
relationship between Scotland and Japan, launched The Glover in simultaneous
ceremonies in Tokyo and Aberdeen.
The whisky is named
after Thomas Blake Glover, a Scot who had a profound impact on the
modernisation of Japan in the 19th Century.
Among his many
achievements, he founded what would later become global giant Mitsubishi, and
his former home in Nagasaki still attracts up to two million visitors each
year.
