Smokehead Whisky recently launched a range of unconventional Scotch whisky canned cocktails. As a brand, Smokehead aims to challenge the norms through pre-mixed single malt drinks.
Iain Weir, Smokehead brand director, explains that "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." The whisky crafters offer two flavors in its canned cocktail range. Consumers can enjoy the Smokehead mixed with Cola - a popular long whisky mixed with a rich cola. They can also enjoy the Smokehead mixed with Ginger Ale + Lime canned cocktail, which blends smoky-sweet Smokehead whisky with aromatic ginger ale and a twist of lime.
