Raynald V. Grattagliano, president of Scottish Spirits Group, Inc., Ft. Lauderdale, FL, was playing with some modeling clay when he struck upon an idea for a value-added packaging feature for his company’s Single Grain Scotch Whiskey in a can: a removable, resealable latex cap.

Scottish Spirits’ whiskey in a canβ€”a first for the spirits industryβ€”was launched in March 2012 in a 12-oz aluminum container from Rexam. The product, distilled and aged for three years in Scotland, is intended for sharing and holds eight shots of whiskey. With introduction of the latex lid in May, which fits over the can’s easy-open end, consumers can now savor the product, portioning it out over time, while preserving its freshness. β€œIt’s now a resealable container,” says Grattagliano. β€œYou can drink some now, seal it, and drink the rest later. The cap also acts to prevent spilling of the product.”
