Scotch as scotch ‘can’

Great Scot!

A distillery in Scotland is planning to sell its whisky in beer cans.

Each 12-ounce can of Scottish spirits — which will sell for about $5 if and when it hits the United States — will hold eight shots.

It’ll be billed as “the perfect size to be shared between three people.’’

But the Scotch Whisky Association wants to can the entire idea.

It insists that selling the country’s most famous product in such a humble container would violate international labeling rules.
