Heroes & Heretics introduced The Whiskey Roller in 2021 as a whiskey-based hard seltzer naturally flavored with hibiscus, nutmeg and bay leaf, and now, the UK-based spirits bottler is introducing a pair of new whiskey-based hard seltzers. While the first ready-to-drink expression came in at 4% ABV, the two new additions (The Rum Roller and The Cachaça Roller) both boast 5% ABV and are similarly low in calories.
These premium and convenient canned drinks are just as interesting flavor-wise as the first. While The Rum Roller shares the tropical taste of passion fruit and mango, The Cachaça Roller pairs sweet brown sugar with zesty lime.
The brand has plans to release The Tequila Roller shortly and in the future, a vodka-based expression could also be joining the lineup.
