    And this would be the one I was given by one of my groomsmen to have as my own. He keep it full all night with a little wee dram of the good stuff.

    The one comment I would make about this would be to stick with Stainless Steel. I've always felt that Pewter flasks and mugs impart a, well, 'pewtery' taste to things...

    With pewter, you must not leave the booze in for very long! Of course, with me, that is never a problem

    Yesterday I bought one of these on Ebay


    A Dalvey stainless steel flask with an integrated collapsible cup. 5 1/4" in diameter holds 6.5 ounces. A bit big for some sporrans, but should fit nicely in my Thorfinn #53. I was lucky to get it for less than 1/2 price.

    Just because ONE wears a kilt does not mean ONE has a descerning taste in a particular intoxicating beverage. I myself have often gotten looped on Southern Comfort not including that time I hung from a chainlink fence jetpuking because my legs failed to function! Luckily I don't drink battery acid because what burns going down burns coming up. I actually carry mouth wash in my flask, you know it case a girl accidently mistakes me for this my arhnemisis (pictured below) and starts talking to me.



    Here is my belt buckle flask, $10 ebay. Flask just pops out and holds an incredible 2 fl. oz. Lower jaw creates drinking cup.

    2 oz? The whisky I drink is so strong I lose more than that to evaporation every time I uncork it! I've never heard the expression "jetpuking" before, in my University days we preferred "the technicolor yawn" or "calling Ralph on the porcelain telephone." Besides, Grant, I took you for a "Yukon Jack" man.

    Best regards,

    Apparently I was going for distance . I've not drunk rye since I was 16 or 17, seems we ran out of a proper mix and had to resort to using Tang (crystal form). If it was good enough for the Astronauts...
