How to carry spirits

[Warn Industries]

How about this gem, which I found in Portland on Friday:

Yes, that's a flask belt buckle. :coffeedrink:

Walmart had a plastic flask in the camping section; the flask(s) fit in the Cabelas ammo boxes that we use for food dry storage.

Now that's old school right there! Well done.

Thanks everyone . I am going to use the two that I found that are stainless . They both hold 750ml so that should be plenty for a couple of drinks each . I will try to pick up one or two more in diffrent colors so I can organize them better .

My favorite was a trip to a methodist mission in the mountains a few years ago. Wanted to bring a little bourbon, but didn't want to offend our hosts who graciously let us stay for free. Answer to dilemma: a Pirates of the Caribbean aluminum water bottle from Walmart. Who's gonna notice a kids water bottle?? Simple, cheap, effective. And after my son was born, he confiscated it

Don't like the idea of having to do a headstand every time you want a drink.

If the concern is about weight and durability, there are a handful of vintners using aluminum bottles now. Flasq is one producer and Jean-Charles Boisset has bottled in the past using both plastic and aluminum. Also, Coppola wines was offering product in small cans a few years ago… don't know if they are still around.
Some spirits manufacturers are also experimenting with alternatives to glass, like this Scotch in a can. In my opinion, Scotch in a can = awesome.

If the main concern is keeping a low profile, I've always been fine using lidded plastic mugs and simply taking care to pour discretely (in the car, for example), but I suppose transporting the spirits in any number of reusable containers would work fine and might be more convenient. Those bottles from Target seem like a good idea, as long as they don't leak. One thing though, I think that most plastics will be corroded by high proof liquors… probably not a big deal for a long weekend but I wouldn't leave spirits in them for an extended period of time.

what ever you do, do not put tequilla rose in a military canteen. the taste will never come out.

Ended up going with some Sub Zero brand Stainless Steel bottles they just happen to be 750Ml got 3 total so I can carry more that one flavor . The two biggest reasons are low profile and durability. Thank you all for all of the Info

Are they this kind?


I'd love to hear how they hold up for you, in particular how the cap performs (if it stats to leak after a while) and if you have any rust problems.

Best of luck!

I don't think this should be a concern. My 1.75 L Seagrams VO comes in plastic. Also, I have 91% rubbing alcohol that came in a plastic bottle.
