The authentic taste of Scotland’s prestigious Loch Lomond Distillery is finally available to be easily enjoyed at convenience stores all over Japan. The carefully crafted “Loch Lomond Signature Highball Can,” made with only whisky and soda, will be available for advance purchase starting November 18, 2025.
In Japan, it’s common for new products to be sold in advance at convenience stores before their general release. This is a very convenient culture for people who want to be the first to try new flavors. The new highball can is based on a whisky that has received high acclaim in international competitions, and a giveaway campaign will be held to celebrate its launch.
The Authentic and Crafted “Loch Lomond Signature Highball Can”
The most distinctive feature of this new highball can is that it is made by adding only soda to the base whisky. It is crafted to allow you to directly enjoy the original flavor of the whisky, without any added fragrances or sweeteners.
The flavor begins with a refreshing citrus fruit note, which is exquisitely balanced by the sweetness derived from the Oloroso sherry and re-charred American oak casks used to mature the base whisky. At a slightly higher 8% ABV, it offers a satisfying body while maintaining a well-balanced taste that you won’t tire of.

The Award-Winning Base Whisky: “Loch Lomond Signature”
The heart of this highball can is “Loch Lomond Signature.” This whisky won the “Best Category Award” in the Blended Scotch Whisky division at the Tokyo Whisky & Spirits Competition (TWSC) 2024, one of Asia’s largest competitions.
This whisky belongs to the unique category of “Single Blended Whisky,” which means it is a blend of malt and grain whiskies produced at the same distillery. It is characterized by a fruity pear-like quality, the spiciness of cinnamon and ginger, and a rich sweetness like brown sugar, earning high praise from whisky fans worldwide. Being able to casually experience this award-winning taste in a highball can is a wonderful opportunity.
Details of the competition can be found on the TWSC website.
