Flasks

Everybody should have at least one good flask. Ideally, two would be the best, a small capacity for personal use and a bigger model for "sharing". I've got three. Two made of titanium by Snow Peak and the other of stainless steel by Swarovski. I like the Snow Peak models for their neutral metal properties, light weight, and comfortable ergonomic design. The only drawback is the damn cap! The cap requires many revolutions around the flask neck to get on and off. It's tough work while wearing heavy gloves or for quick sips. The Swarovski was bought when I deemed the traditional Tiffany silver flask too pricey. The Swarovski is sturdily built of thick stainless steel with a well designed friction "plug" cap. It even has got a dual-use cap cover/drinking vessel. I usually keep dainty sherry casked malts in the Swarovski. The Snow Peaks get a taste of everything from Royal Salute to Ardbeg back down to American corn new make!
