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...

Well he IS English/Canadian, you know, he even said so 'imself. ;)

Grant - I get so much pleasure from a small dram of a nice single malt, that I don't want others to miss out.

Having said that, I also support and applaud those who have chosen to not endulge, for whatever reason. Being a tee-totaller means there's more for me...

I don't like to go drinking with anyone who starts out the night with the idea of getting drunk. That cuts way down on the enjoyment.

I also fully understand (after many many years) the difference between Scots and Scotch.........

By the way - did you just recently add color to your avatar, or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

My avatar is the same, you've just finished staring at Hooters (girls) all night.

James, On the subject of avatars changing. This is the image that jumps into my mind when I think, sweater vest, flask and James. I'm glad the waitresses pooled their tips to bail you out.

Jay, I knew I saw you at the Post Office. My mistake was thinking you were in the queue in front of me and not on the wall.

Bad Santa!

Shamlessly stolen for future use!

I just did a search and Colibri has their flask on sale.

www.colibrimall.com/Colibri-Flasks/cat/Flasks

The Cosmopolitan (4.5 oz) Flask is on sale for $20.18.

Now please note that I pass this information along for those of you who have to carry cough medicine with you and need a nice unbreakable container. Carrying of ferment spirits in this container would not be in keeping with the high standard of this forum.

I fully intend to carry nothing but cough medicine or possibly Nyquil in my flask, for health emergencies of course. So I guess I'll need a second flask for my single malt.
