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 theres 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.

I can't tell if this is a joke or not.
Scotch in a can? What took them so long? Available in a 12-pack, I wonder? Just what the world needed!

the banned FourLokoBanned? 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.

Scotch in a can? Blasphemy!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.
