Nips over to the never seen before STW shop section and finds one on special offer. That'll do nicely, thanks.

I find a hip flask doesn't hold enough for my liking, a couple of drinks and it's gone so i bought the Highland flasks from Bob [url= http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/hydration.html ]here at backpackinglight[/url]
What Somafunk said. I got one of these from Backpackinglight

Been good to me it has.
Another vote for Gsi, McM; bikepacking equals having a huge dump before setting off to save weight, can't be taking metal with you when plastic is available! 😀
STW hip flask arrived this morning. I decanted some Highland Park into it and it tastes mighty fine. Duckman, I've a lot to learn about lightweight bike packing. Failing at the first hurdle isn't uncommon for me. 🙂
Put your spirit in plastic bottles, much lighter and more volume. You don't need a specific device for this.
Old lucozade bottle!
Carried one all round the Cairngorms last autumn filled with spirit AND never touched a drop of it
I decanted some Highland Park into it and it tastes mighty fine.
Really, I must try one of these mythical flasks, last time I had Highland Park it was in a glass and tasted frankly average.
I never got a funnel with my STW flask, or the nice box for that matter.
McM,when you find yourself sawing the handle off a toothbrush,or using breath fresh strips,then it is long hard look at yourself time...err,or so I have heard... 😳 prob with a plastic bottle is they aren't much lighter,but a lot more fragile,the gsi flask doesn't crease the way a water bottle does when it is stuffed to the bottom of a pack or bag. As to the highland park post;all whisky tastes better in a tent listening to the sound of weather,animals and nothing man made. FACT.
Sigg Traveller oval; hip-flask shaped and can hold virtually an entire bottle of single malt - why settle for anything less?!

I pour away the vile contents of one of these and use that. It has many advantages over a hip flask being bigger, cheaper and bigger.
It's bigger too.

Oooh that Sigg Traveller is nice
Platypus do a PlatyPreserve which is good for wine when backpacking
They keep port in good nick too.....hic
Yup,l use the flat pack platypus for water,it can also take hot water without disforming or leaking.
How about a double barrelled one...

The non bikey one I got from leffeboy in 1997.
I got a lightweight one too.
I'm surprised that a 50+ yr old male Scot doesn't own one already!
Platypus is a good call for your malt. Flexible and non-breakable. It does tend to retain some of the taste should you then re-use it for water though. Whether or not you think this is a good thing is up to you 🙂
