Scotch in a can? What took them so long? Available in a 12-pack, I wonder? Just what the world needed!

Just when the controversy over the banned FourLoko has died down, a beverage company has come out with straight Scotch in a can, just like soda pop.
Though there’s been no uproar so far, as was the case with the alcohol-caffeine combo FourLoko, Scottish Spirits’ “Scotch in a Can” is being marketed as a “distilled and matured in Scotland for a minimum of 3 years in oak casks.” It has notes of “honey, vanilla, butterscotch, apples and pears,” and a “hint of peat and smoke in the background,” as described on their site.
Each can contains about eight shots or 12 ounces of 80-proof Scotch.

Takes “six pack” to a whole new level.
Aged in aluminum?
blech!
Scotch in a can? Blasphemy!
Yes, somehow I see bad weekends ahead.
Scotland is angry over the desicration of Scotch..
For three whole years!
Surely the End Times are near.
LOL!
If this is true, this needs to be Scotched.
No worse than wine in a box.
Banned? I guess my local convenience store didn't get the message. They're still selling the 12% alcohol, 24 ounces of syrupy-sweet blackouts in a can at two for $4 as of a week ago.
The metal your liquid is sealed in will definitely have a bearing on the taste. Sometimes it is good and sometimes it is bad.
When we lived on a farm we had an artesian well. My mother always had a bucket of fresh water on the boards along the edge of our back porch. There was always an aluminum dipper in the bucket. That fresh water out of that dipper always had a pleasant taste.
On the other hand we had always drank coke from a bottle until the put it in cans. The bottles always had a smoother taste that the cans. The cans tasted like metal to me.
Shotgun! Whoo-Hoo! Eight shots in 2 seconds!!!
12 oz of 80 proof Scotch in a can?! Bwahahahaha!
That’s a lot of booze.
I'm guessing this isn't being marketed to those who enjoy sipping a 25-year old Macallan. At $5 a can, looks like they're going after the FourLoko crowd.
Won't be long before the youtube videos come out.
Look, I like to drink but damn, this is just a bad idea.
Bearwhizz in a can at 90 proof would satisfy them.
