Lodged by Jackie Dunbar (Scottish National Party) Standard Motion 18 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Fusion Whisky on the launch of the sixth edition of The Glover; understands that the whisky was named after Thomas Blake Glover, who lived at the Coastguard Station, as well as what is now more commonly known as Glover House in the Bridge of Don area of the Aberdeen Donside constituency; further understands that Thomas Blake Glover played a key part in the industrialisation of Japan, having founded a ship building company that would later become the Mitsubishi Corporation; notes that The Glover became the world’s first official fusion of Scottish and Japanese whiskies upon its initial launch back in 2015, and was created to honour the pioneering achievements of Thomas Blake Glover; understands that the whisky was also created to celebrate the historical relationships between Scotland and Japan; notes that, since the first release of The Glover, Fusion Whisky has since released other whiskies that celebrate the relationship between Scotland and other nations, including Sweden, India and Australia, and wishes Fusion Whisky all the best for the launch and success for the future.
