(Newser) – You'll soon be able to crack open and swig down a can of… Scotch whisky? Liquor company Scottish Spirits Imports plans to introduce aluminum cans filled with Scotch to the US by February 1. Each can will contain 12 ounces of the 80-proof liquor, or about eight shots' worth, reports the Huffington Post. The retail price: $5 a can.

The managing editor of Whisky Advocate says cans have come a long way. "They are completely airtight, and the liners are pretty good," he says. "It is not going to be affecting the flavor." But cans, of course, can't be resealed. "The problem you run into is who is going to bang out 12 ounces in an evening?" Click for more.

This stuff probably tastes like paint thinner.  I mean, how good can 3year old Scotch be? It looks like a way to get rid of some sort of leftover crap, and make a buck from it.
