The two [ready-to-drink offerings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/suntory-world-whisky-ao-highball) include 'Strawberry & Balsamic Rob Roy' and 'Coffee & Cacao Bobby Burns.' The cocktails are made using Glenfarclas' 60% ABV 105 whiskey and arrive in a unique pouch format, designed by The Drinks Drop. The Strawberry & Balsamic Rob Roy (27% ABV) delivers a sweet and sophisticated blend of flavors with notes derived from strawberry, balsamic, and orange bitters. Meanwhile, Coffee & Cacao Bobby Burns (28% ABV) offers a "powerful and invigorating" twist on the classic cocktail. The coffee-focused offering combines cacao-infused Glenfarclas 105 with Mr Black Coffee Liqueur, Bénédictine liqueur, chocolate wine, and chocolate bitters.
