Scottish Spirits Puts Whisky In A Can

LATEST

Want to enjoy outdoor drinking without stooping to the default beer in can?  Petition your local vice purveyors to carry  this: Whisky in a Can.

Made by Panama-based Scottish Spirits, they literally package real scotch whisky into what would have otherwise been cans of fermented brew.  That way, you can finally enjoy straight whisky as comfortably as you enjoy your beer while watching a game in the park.

The Whisky in a Can comes in a conventional 330ml aluminum container, complete with a pull-out tab and all the convenience you can imagine a canned drink bringing.  Whether you want straight shots, mixed drinks or a quick sip, we can’t imagine whisky coming in a more comfortable packaging for outdoor use.

According to the company, it’s the perfect drink for sharing by up to three people — all without the obvious hassle of having to carry a heavy glass bottle around.  Being an entirely new concept in enjoying whisky, not everyone’s amused: the Scotch Whisky Association has stated that it will try to ban the cans for breaching international labeling rules and creating unnecessary confusion for customers.

Scottish Spirits has only released the canned whisky in its Caribbean and South American markets, so far.  We’re not sure how well this will pick up, but if they begin selling it in my neighborhood, it will likely become my new favorite six-pack.  Unless it tastes like shit, of course, in which case, all bets are off.  Okay, I’m just kidding — cheap and crappy have always been my ideal qualities in any drink.

  1. I am charmed. I always wondered as to why there wasn’t an equivalent of whisky in a canned form. Beer is something I am forced to take to drives and day-offs, purely because of the simple fact that it is convenient to carry a can around. Keeping a glass bottle and all the support inventory like disposable glasses isn’t exactly an activity I like performing. Secondly, sipping whisky from a plastic cup takes half the pleasure out of the game. Scottish Spirits, take a bow! And even importantly, Scottish Spirits, look towards my locality, we need this stuff at the store shelves. I really pray that this product clicks and forces the manufacturers to venture into lesser known, but equally enthusiastic markets like ours.

  2. Never mind the doubts about the quality of the whisky; this one is surely going to be a hot with the mobile drinkers. I might add we all fit perfectly into this category. Wow, it shall be some real fun having a sleek and smart can of whisky while having a day out at the stadium. Scottish Spirits seem to have hit the right sales button. For all we know, there could well be situation where all major blenders jump into the gold mine and come out with their own versions of canned whisky. My eyes gleam with excitement, imagining crates and cans of all brands lined up in stores.

  3. 330 ml aluminum cans are regular features of my refrigerator, even though they are not meant for everyday consumption. I do not consider the economics of the game when it comes to amalgamating drinking and pleasure. I love cans. The feel of the cold can in the hands and the measured sips flowing into the mouth; there is an undeniable sense of convenience with cans. There was always a problem. Even at times when I would have gone for whisky, I had to stick to beer. Just waiting for these whisky cans to make way to my area.

  4. Are there any choices on offer with the canned whisky package from Scottish Whiskies? Outdoor ‘whisky-ing’ is all set to become a lot more delectable than it was in the past. Managing the bottles oneself, and searching for an economical bar takes toll on the mind, and this interferes with the pleasure of drinking. Having cans of whiskey is a lot better. Cheers to whoever thought of this fantastic idea.

  5. My wife always complains that I lose count when I take to canned beer drinking. Let us hope she has lesser reasons to complain when I take to more judicious drinking with canned whisky.
