Twisted Tea, an alcoholic iced tea brand owned by The Boston Beer Co., has announced the launch of a new limited-edition offering called 'Twisted Tea Sweet Tea Whiskey.' The new whiskey-based product has been made in collaboration with Beam Suntory, an American-founded Japanese alcohol label.
Twisted Tea Sweet Tea Whiskey will feature a 32.5% ABV and will contain a blend of real brewed tea with a well-rounded Beam Suntory whiskey, which is said to deliver subtle flavors of oak and lemon. According to the company, the new product was created to meet the recent consumer demand for flavored whiskeys.
"We put our fans first in everything we do ― from printing their photos on our cans to including them in our commercials, to bringing them the flavors and pack styles they ask for," said Erica Taylor, brand director for Twisted Tea. "Many of them are already shopping for flavored whiskey, so this is our way of giving them something they can call their own."
