CENTRAL OTAGO, Today: Whisky enthusiasts, rejoice! Scapegrace Distilling Co is unveiling a limited release of single malt whisky highball RTDs in two irresistible flavours. This New Zealand distillery is set to impress.

Scapegrace is the first New Zealand brand to offer single malt whisky in an RTD, joining an exclusive global group. They drew inspiration from Tokyo’s streets and collaborated with top local bartenders.

“The new world whisky movement is really strong, and this trend is influenced by bringing consumers into the emerging category via simple, refreshing cocktails,” said Scapegrace Co-Founder Mark Neal.

“The Whisky Highball is at the forefront of this trend, largely driven by this Japanese staple diet who are masters of the cocktail.”

Like their Gin and Vodka RTDs, Scapegrace uses 100% handcrafted distilled spirits. “Quality is paramount with our RTD range, our unique point of difference is we use actual handcrafted spirits in our RTDs, the difference is quality and taste.”

The Highball RTDs come in two flavors: Scapegrace Single Malt & Smoked Cola, and Scapegrace Single Malt, Soda with Lemon & Mint. Both use locally grown barley from Christchurch, aged in Virgin French Oak barrels for at least 3 years.

“We are using the same super-premium Single Malt Whisky from our luxury spirits portfolio. While it might be more practical to sell it as full-strength whisky, we prefer to push boundaries.

“This new Highball chapter is an exciting way to introduce people to our new world whisky movement.”

With only 1500 cases of each flavor available, don’t miss out! Find Scapegrace RTDs at all good liquor stores throughout New Zealand.
