Port of Leith Distillery launches Table Whisky cans
The Edinburgh distillery’s new cans of single grain whisky were designed to open up more occasions for enjoying Scotch.
Table Whisky is now available in 100ml cans at an RRP of £6.50 (US$8.50) from the Port of Leith Distillery shop and select off-trade locations.
It is distilled in Edinburgh, matured in a combination of new oak and Sherry casks, and blended in Leith before being bottled at 43% ABV.
The new cans are said to contain two 50ml serves, which Port of Leith said could be ‘enjoyed chilled straight from the can, poured over ice, or mixed into the brand’s signature Table Ginger serve – with plenty of ice, ginger ale and wedge of lime’.
Vaibhav Sood, head of whisky at Port of Leith Distillery, said: “Table Whisky has always been about making Scotch whisky feel uncomplicated and approachable, without compromising on flavour. We wanted to create a whisky people could enjoy however they prefer, whether that’s neat, over ice or mixed.
“The can is simply another expression of that same idea. It’s the same whisky, just in a format that fits more occasions. Whether you’re at home or travelling further afield, you can now quite literally take the table with you.”
Table Whisky is produced by Port of Leith Distillery’s bottling arm, Leith Bond, and is also available in 700ml bottles at RRP £36.50 (US$49) and 50ml miniatures for RRP £6.50 (US$8.50).
The £12 million (US$14.5m) Port of Leith distillery opened its doors in October 2023. Described as Scotland’s ‘first vertical distillery’, it has the capacity to produce up to one million bottles of single malt whisky per year.
The ready-to-drink category continues to grow, with sales surpassing £700m (US$948m) in the UK off-trade last year.
