Big? Jeaasus but that's an easy one. Bridgette Mulcahy at the Ship-Fitters Ball down in Wexford in 1988. They were huge-- like dinner plates they were. All of the lads were bowled over when she took 'em out and offered to pass 'em around. Round and full-- absolutely glorious they were. And smooth as smooth could be, the result of decades of them being passed back and forth between friends on a chilly winter's night. And did I say full? I did not! But let me tell you mother's milk could never have been sweeter. No never.

In the end I think she ended up selling them, at least I saw a pair of Irish Georgian silver cantle flasks very much like them on Antiques Road Show a few years later. I think the man who was the expert said they were priceless...

Actually my favorite flask is emblazoned with the arms of George Way of Plean, and I won it off him in a bet!

Did you jump your horse over a seven-foot fence by candlelight?

this could be a useful thread, I'm in the market for a flask and just started shopping around this morning. I do like that Filson one...

I like the Filson one because it is more of a "country gent" type flask, and not a "Scottish" one like you see offered by many vendors -- not that I have a problem with those flasks, I just like this one a wee bit better.

It "goes" very well with my Barbour Wax Jacket and cord trousers!

I agree, I'm not fond of much of the stuff that gets lazily plastered with 'celtic' knotwork. As I also spend most of my time in a Barbour and 'old man' cord trousers, maybe this is the one for me! Thanks Cajunscot.

I have one of these:



Like the stainless steel for not leeching into the Whiskey.

I also have a pewter one with the knotwork. Haven't used it. It is about the same shape as the Filson one shown above.

Both were gifts.

I have a pewter one, but somehow it got dented and now only holds about half the original capacity. Next one will be stainless steel.
