BACARDÍ is ready to kick off the summer with two new additions to its RTD cocktail range.

Bringing the bar staple to cans, Bacardí has launched two new mojito flavours with Mango Mojito and Raspberry Mojito.

Available in 250ml slim cans, the two new rum RTDs come with an RRP of £2 per can from Sainsbury’s, Ocado and Amazon nationwide.

Bacardí reckons the two will prove popular, stating that mojitos were in the top 10 searched cocktails on Google in Europe.

HIGHLAND single malt brand Glenmorangie says it has brought a spicy kick for its latest 15-year-old expression in The Cadboll Estate series of whiskies.

Inspired by the estate of the same name, which lies a short journey from the firm’s distillery, each release features barley from the fields grown on the Cadboll Estate.

This new launch was aged in American oak bourbon casks and, to bring in some spicier notes, the expression has been finished off in Amontillado sherry casks.

The final result has notes of hazelnut, toffee and clove, according to Glenmorangie. The 700ml bottle comes in at £75 RRP.
