Pure Scot has launched its ready-to-drink range, featuring two high-strength, all-natural canned cocktails, based on its scotch whisky.

The range includes Pure Scot Signature & Tonic, a ready to drink Scotch and tonic to “shake up the way we mix scotch”, as well as the Pure Scot Virgin Oak & Smoked Cola, with “hints of campfire smoke in our all-natural cola”.

“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,” said Pure Scot head of commercial Will Pitchforth.

“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."

The Pure Scot RTD range was developed by the Australian-based team and mized with 8 per cent ABV.

It is distributed by Iconic Beverages and The Beverage Company and is now available individually for RRP $8.99, in four-packs for $28.99, and cartons of 24 for RRP $169.99.
