The Whisky Highball Company
Something different is happening.
Most premium whisky plays are passive. You buy, you wait, you hope the market moves. TWHC is different: it’s an active brand. A whisky highball that non-whisky drinkers finish and come back for, built on five bona fide premium Scotch flavours (Ginger Soda, Lemon, Raspberry, Soda and Melon), structured as a £250,000 SEIS-qualifying opportunity for eligible UK investors, with HMRC Advance Assurance already confirmed.
What makes it credible isn’t the idea. It’s the behaviour. It’s on the side of a rallycross car. It’s in Business Insider. Teddy Sheringham MBE is its ambassador and a 5% equity holder. Four signed distribution LOIs: China, the US, Singapore and South Korea are already in place, and TWHC donated 80 cans to mark the 80th anniversary of HMS Newcastle. £40,000 of the £250,000 round is already committed. The minimum ticket is £10,000 and the round closes once it is fully subscribed. This isn’t funding a concept; it’s funding fulfilment and scale.
The Whisky Highball Company is headline sponsor of @shepherd.rx, British Rallycross Championship.

The Highball Library
Where did the highball come from, and how did one tall, simple drink end up the favourite of a whole nation? Two long reads trace the story from a monastery cellar in 1531 to a Tokyo izakaya today.
The Highball Inheritance
Accidental bubbles in Limoux, an English physician, a Geneva watchmaker, the soda siphon and the Irish word that gave the drink its name.
Read part one
The Highball in Japan
A brandy and soda in a Yokohama treaty port, a whisky that flopped, and the 2008 campaign that took the highball from 15,000 bars to 60,000.
