The [Pure Scot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pure-energy-music) canned [Scotch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-cocktail-culture) cocktails are positioned as the world's first range of Scotch-based prepackaged libations that are sure to be enjoyed by consumers seeking out an alternative to the existing ready-to-drink alcohol options on the market.

The cocktails feature an 8% ABV, and come in two flavor options including Pure Scot Virgin Oak & Smoked Cola and Pure Scot Signature & Tonic. The products are described by the brand as being a "revolutionary pairing" that's sure to entice avid drinkers and spirit enthusiasts alike.

Head of Commercial Will Pitchforth spoke on the new Pure Scot canned Scotch cocktails saying, "Pure Scot has been growing in Australia with many of our top bars now reaching for our whisky to create cocktails that take advantage of Pure Scot’s flavor profile. With the shift towards more at-home consumption, we decided to bring some of our favourite recipes to consumers in a [ready-to-drink format](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suntory-world-whisky-ao-highball). Pure Scot and tonic is the world’s first Scotch and tonic ready-to-drink cocktail, for a light and refreshing long drink that we know will bring Scotch to a whole new group of drinkers.”
