Interesting idea better suited for the 8oz. cans.

That would be perfect for gatherings. Share a can among a couple friends. :)

I vaguely remember hearing from others that there used to be canned whiskey in Iraq. I think it was called Three Kings or something.
I keep forgetting it so I'll leave it here for others as well: NFA 304-616-4500

Seems like if it was Scotch and water and you chilled it, It might have more appeal.

It might also be interesting to see Jack and Coke, Rum and coke, etc precanned.

Might be hard to market "weak scotch in a can" I think they'd have better luck with scotch and soda. Same thing but it's water with personality.

There were two brands, Three Kings, and Black stallion, both would give you the worst headache ever, short of getting metal stuck in your head. They taste alot like stallion piss.

Interesting.

What makes scotch expensive is not the bottle that it comes in. So, if the cost savings isn't from the container, then it's from what's inside the container.

Mmmmmm, insanely cheap scotch whiskey. No thanks...

...and despite what the manufacturer claims, I believe their target market is alcoholics who will drink the entire can alone in one sitting. Or, they're stupid if they believe the majority of these will end up anywhere else...

We have Jim and Coke in a can down here. I've seen Jack and Cokes in Germany, so they're out there.
