Consumers who’d always wanted a two-four of whisky may be able to get their hands on a can soon, Scottish Spirits USA says.

Canada’s omnipotent liquor controls boards are “one of the things that we’re working on,” National Sales Director Bart Schroeder told the Star on Monday.

“It will be available very soon.”

The year-long delay? “Distribution stuff in the United States and Canada.”

Samples? “It’s not sold anywhere yet.”

In the meantime, the year-old Florida company with a Grand Cayman parent organization has been perfecting the “consumer request” of a resealable top on the cans.

Scottish Spirits intends to sell the $5 tins of 350 millilitre, three-year-old single grain Scotch, distilled and aged in Scotland, in six packs at first, although cases of 24 was the original plan.
