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.

Packaging News

New European rules on generic environmental claims have prompted the Australasian Bioplastics Association to warn that packaging carrying poorly substantiated claims could be marketed in Australia.

Australia's environment ministers have declared packaging reform urgent and named soft plastics as an initial priority, but offered no firm timetable or regulatory commitments. SPSA has welcomed the soft plastics focus, while Boomerang Alliance and WMRR have raised concerns about the lack of concrete action.

Economic analysis commissioned by SPSA estimates national recycling reforms could deliver up to $278m in net productivity gains and stimulate up to $2.6b in capital investment each year.
