The thrill of opening a blind box and discovering what's inside is inspiring industries beyond toys and collectibles, with even beverage brands embracing the surprise-inside packaging format to inspire drinkers to take a chance on something new—as seen with DRAM5's Whisky Blind-Box.
Although drinkers won't be sure of exactly what they'll get before they open the box, they are assured that the experience centered on Single Cask Scotch Whiskies will take their senses on a journey. True to the classic blind box experience, the boxes contain premium, rare and ultra-rare expressions. The first Whisky Blind-Box release is strictly limited to 6,000 boxes, and just 300 boxes contain coveted drams containing 34-year-old Ardbeg or 36-year-old Littlemill.
