Manly Spirits is fired up for the Olympics, with its Northern Beaches inspired brand, Coastal Stone Whisky, launching two ready-to-drink (RTD) flavours to compete with American and Canadian alternatives.

Featuring its award winning double grain whisky, Coastal Stone’s Whisky & Dry is a crisp RTD with a mellow taste, balancing the spirit’s vanilla, caramel, and oak flavours with spice of ginger ale. Made with premium cola, the Coastal Stone Whisky & Cola RTD brings out the notes of honey and malted barley fruitiness for a well-balanced drink.

Coastal Stone distillery manager, Dave Richards, said that he was thrilled to launch the company’s ready-to-drink line, made in Sydney using Coastal Stone’s Double Grain Whisky Xplore.

“This whisky has already revolutionised the realm of affordable Australian whisky, and we believe all Aussies deserve to enjoy their whisky in every way possible, making it accessible to all,” said Richards.

“Aussies deserve a top-notch, homegrown alternative to Jack, Jim, and that Canadian fella. Our new RTDs blend rich, smooth whisky with the best dry ginger and cola for a quality session with mates, unmatched by any other.”

To go with the new products, Coastal Stone has launched a marketing campaign to become the ‘Official Spirit of Crushing CANada’s Spirit’ – pledging to sponsor every Australian Olympic team member who beats a Canadian rival in Paris. The athlete will receive a commemorative Aluminium Medal, forged from the crushed remains of a Canadian whisky can for their achievement.

Coastal Stone Whisky & Dry and Whisky & Cola are available online at manlyspirits.com.au, and at select Dan Murphys, Porters Liquor and various independent liquor retailers across New South Wales for RRP $31.99 in a four-pack, or $160 for a 24-can case.
