Party On!

There are some timid souls who fear to roll down the highway on New Year's Eve because of the drunks and party crazed. Now EVERY evening can be New Year's Eve with the introduction of scotch whiskey in a can.

Is there any better sound than that of the crack of a beer can being opened after a long day of work? What if that can was full of something a little stronger than beer, say, whisky? 

Despite having Scottish in the name, the spirits company is based in Panama. But that still doesn't excuse what they have gone and done. They've put twelve ounces of whisky (I am spelling it thusly because that's how the Scots spell it) in an aluminum can and last week they released it on the public. It comes in both the company's signature whisky and a blended variety called Sir Edwin's. "It's lightweight and portable and entirely recyclable," chief executive Manish Panshal told The Daily Mail. "It will be one of the hot picks for any outdoor activities...But you probably wouldn't want it in aluminium [sic] cans for too long, because it would affect the taste." A fine, [mellow?]  whiskey, aged thirty days in the can is bound to find acceptance in every ghetto neighborhood in North America (including Canada...because we know Canadians are no more discerning than Americans).

I don't know how this will impact drinking and driving but twelve ounces of scotch will have a more profound impact on the body than a brewski. So when the drunk pulls over and says, "I only had one ocifer," the policeman might even be able to believe them.

The company is testing its product in South America and Caribbean markets right now. It is not available in the US & Canada (yet) so don't go sprinting out to your local liquor store for supplies for your next picnic.
