Golden Blue, South Korea’s leading whisky brand held a scholarship ceremony last Thursday in Seoul.
The Master Blender project of the company aims to raise distilling professionals for the advancement of Korea’s liquor industry.
The application for the project began in December last year, and two were finally chosen after screening and interview. The first recipients, Kim Bit-na and Kim Joon-min will be provided with an opportunity to study at Scotland’s Heriot-Watt University for a year. The company will support full tuition, basic expenses and air fares.
