Whisky in a can? That’s a thing now

Never miss whisky news, reviews, and new releases again.

You’ve been able to buy beer or canned cocktails for years, but whisky? Not until now. Table Whisky has put its whisky in a can. The single grain Scotch from the team behind Port of Leith Distillery now comes in a 100-milliliter canned edition.

The new can holds the same Scottish whisky as Table Whisky’s well-known bottle. Only the format has changed. Each can contains 100 milliliters, enough for two generous drams. Bottled at 43% ABV, it hails from Edinburgh, where it’s distilled, matured, and blended in Leith.

With its canned whisky, Table Whisky aims to break away from the image of whisky as a luxury bottle reserved for quiet evenings. The brand wants to make Scotch less complicated and closer to the idea of table wine—something to share with friends, food, and long nights.

How does Table Whisky taste?

Table Whisky is matured in a combination of virgin oak and sherry casks, creating an approachable style with vanilla, gentle spice, and enough sweetness to appeal to newcomers as well as seasoned drinkers.

Nose: Raspberry, buttercream, apple pie, and a hint of Parma Violet.
Palate: Ginger snap, toffee popcorn, red berries, vanilla, oak spice, and pepper.
Finish: Rich and creamy.

Enjoy Table Whisky neat, over ice, or in a simple mix. The brand’s own serve is the Table Ginger: whisky over ice with ginger ale and a wedge of lime.

Where can you buy Table Whisky in a can?

It hasn’t yet been announced where the new edition of Table Whisky will be available. The cans are being sold at the distillery, where a can costs £6.50. Do note that the cans are currently sold out.

It’s unclear whether the canned Table Whisky will make its way to other countries. Keep an eye on your local bottle shop just in case.
