Came across this blurb from a couple years ago. Looks like the site still sells this stuff.
"It's enough to make Scotch whisky connoisseurs choke on their single malt - a Scottish distillery has produced whisky in a can.
Each can, which cannot be resealed once opened, will contain 12 ounces - about eight shots - of 80-proof 'single grain scotch whisky'.
The company hopes to have the product on shelves in major American markets by February 1, retailing for $5 a can.
Potent: Each can will contain about eight shots of 80-proof scotch whisky
Unlike bottles, cans cannot be closed after they have been opened. That will force Scottish Spirits drinkers to either finish all eight shots of the blended scotch in a single occasion, or let some of the booze go to waste.
Critics have argued that eight shots of a beverage with the same alcohol content as venerable scotches including Johnnie Walker Blue and The Glenlivet 12 is too many to be sold in a container that can't be resealed.
The spirit has been distilled and matured for three years in oak casks in Scotland, according to the distillery company.
'There are many brands on the market and most brands are not created equal,' Ken Rubenfeld, vice president of operations for the distillery, Scottish Spirits Imports, told The Huffington Post.
Packaging a high-end variety of liquor in what is widely considered to be a low budget container sounds like a novelty. But Rubenfeld insists its convenience -- not comic value -- that will drive sales.
'A lot of people like to have beverages by their pool, on their boat, in a campground, at sporting events or tailgate parties,' he said. "
