Manly Spirits Co. Distillery are expanding their collection of RTD drinks with the Manly Spirits ‘Whisky Highball’, an alternative for fans of craft beer and whisky-curious consumers.

Taking inspiration from the original ‘whisky and dry’ cocktail, the Whisky Highball has a 6 per cent ABV and features Manly Spirit’s Australian made craft whisky, ginger and native limes.

Manly Spirits Co owner and master distiller David Whittaker says the company is meeting the growing demand for premium spirit based RTD’s, with research showing a clear preference amongst consumers, as they are regarded to be of superior quality.Cropped re sized rtd-whisky-highball-4pack-angled-transparent2.png

“Like all our products, it was important for us to get the balance of flavours right to deliver big on taste as our reputation has been made on full- flavoured and well-balanced spirits,” said Whittaker.

Manly Spirits Co owner Vanessa Wilton says the Whisky Highball is the premium option in the dark spirits RTD category.

“Being an Australian whisky distillery, we’re lucky enough to be able to bring a premium product to the space, which appeals to those who appreciate craft drinks,” says Wilston.

One of the defining features of the Manly Spirits premix range is the bespoke glass bottles , which recently won ‘World’s Best Premix Design’ at the World Premix Awards in 2021. 

“We knew we must have been doing something right when we won at the World Premix Awards, so it was really important that we kept our signature premium packaging design for our Whisky Highball,” said Wilton.

The Manly Spirits Whisky Highball will be available in wholesalers & bottle shops Australia wide for an RRP of $32 for four pack and $180 for a carton.
