These Smokehead Islay Single Malt Whisky Scotch Whiskey cocktails are being launched by the brand as the first-ever single-malt premixed ready-to-drink cocktail to offer consumers an easier way to enjoy the spirit.
The cocktails come in two flavor options including Cola and Ginger + Lime, which both come in 330ml cans with a suggested retail price point of £2.50 each and feature an ABV of 6%. The products are being made available in the UK where consumers can order them from Ian Macleod Distillers.
Smokehead Brand Director Iain Weir spoke on the new Smokehead Islay Single Malt Whisky Scotch Whiskey cocktails saying, "There is a long-standing debate whether a single malt should be mixed. But Smokehead is an unapologetically bold smoky whisky that is made to be enjoyed however you want it! Smokehead refuses to follow the rules of conventional whisky drinking. With summer here and BBQ season in full swing, what better time to launch the first ever pre-mixed single malt Scotch whisky in a can."
