Little or nothing to do with distillation.

Yeah that's an interesting thought Justin.

Yup, it's all in the taste. But distillers are particular about an awful lot of things. We fiddle and fuss over (to name just a few) grain bill percentages, yeast types, mash and ferment control, slow or fast distillations, amount of tails to cut, and then.... aging regimens followed by how strong a drink to pour from a particular-shaped bottle with a custom-made (wink-wink Salty) distillery label.

Just sayin'.

Dear reader, I’d appreciate it if you could stare at these three bottles (all 700ml) and let me know which one you like the most.
Durability first, cost second and appearance last.
Personal, I like flat sided flasks because they fit in my hip pocket.
Smaller that a pint and I have to spent too much time refilling them.
Bigger than a liter and I have to wear a belt and suspenders to keep my britches up. :lol:

Offside Shady! You only have three choices.

Now if we could have a Kickstarter or new post for a proper metal flask..proper quality not some dubious pewter.... of a servicable size... to share if required.. with a seal not made of old inner tubes.. I am in!
If need be we could find you one with a belt and you could wear it as a sporran. ;)

I had to look up what a sporran was.
Looks like it would be difficult for a man wearing a skirt to run.
Especially with his purse flapping around and slapping him in the balls. :lol:

I'd chose the bottle on the right.

I have accumulated several metal flasks, from a key ring 1oz to an 8oz hip flask. It never occurred to me to check the seals.

I often carry one in my cargo shorts when cycling, but I can't see myself riding a pushbike wearing a kilt and sporran any time soon :D

We had a Scots member recently join, I'm hoping he'll step in to this thread shortly for a bit of a light hearted bashing! :-)

This thread has taken more directions than a drunk in a maze!

I don’t think I’d say that within earshot of a Scot. Earshot being highly variable depending on the size of the bagpipes, I suppose.
