"...three-year-old single grain Scotch..."

But then the can plainly says "Blended Scotch Whisky"...YIKES??!?

“I’m distinctly unnerved by something that’s 40 per cent (alcohol) wandering around in a can. I can just see someone saying, ‘Oh, I might as well finish it off.’”


Really...Whats wrong with that?

The Japs have been selling whisky in a can for a long time, many different brands too.

Why the fuck would anyone want to buy any form of liquor in a can when they could just as easily buy the brand they want in a bottle and then transfer said contents to a flask?


Flasks fit better in your pocket than a can. Trust me on this.

Well they never said it was single-barrel... who knows if this is intentional or they're just dumb.
