A popular whisky brand known for its innovative peated whiskies has just launched what it believes is the first-ever pre-mixed single malt in a ready-to-drink can.
Smokehead has unveiled two intriguing serves, 'Smokehead mixed with Cola’ and ‘Smokehead mixed with Ginger + Lime’ to kick off.
With long hot summer days in mind, the team say the brand-new Smokehead RTDs will save people from the usual pre-mixed cocktails and offer an experimental smoky alternative to "shake-up summer socialising".
They added that ‘Smokehead mixed with Cola’ is already a popular, long whisky serve, while the ‘Smokehead mixed with Ginger Ale + Lime’ blends smoky, sweet Smokehead with aromatic ginger ale, finished with a twist of lime.
Priced at £2.50, the 330ml cans come in colourful packaging with the Smokehead skull logo and an ABV of 6%.
Speaking about the innovative launch, Iain Weir, Smokehead Brand Director, said: “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.”
