Whisky container name

[Djones55]

what is a container for whisky called

[strozzi]

During manufacture;- mash tun, pot still, washback.
After;- barrel, bottle, decanter, glass.
Finally;- Strozzi's stomach.

[Cetti]

A Quaich - A wide and shallow, double-handled cup, traditionally used in the Highlands for drinking whisky. The two handles made it easier to pass round at large gatherings.

[Gef]

Cetti, does a quaich have two handles in case the whisky makes your hands quake? :-)

[Cetti]

No - I quaich after the whisky,Gef :-))

[sft42]

What a load of rubbish....as anyone will tell you any teuchter will never share his whiskey with anyone let alone large gatherings. :>)

[Gef]

I know that sft lives in Ireland but in Scotland the correct spelling is "whisky" - without the "e".

[sft42]

Never make assumptions Gef. I am now residing in sunny Glasgow and while I take your point that Scotch is indeed spelt without the "e" both spellings are correct.......I was tired that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

[Gef]

Welcome back sft! You're welcome to your excuse but not to my whisk(e)y should we ever meet ;-)

[Spellmaster]

Gef is right, sft42 - the dictionary does state that the spelling variation is not to do with whether it's Scotch or not - with an e is the US and Irish spelling, without an e is the UK spelling. In practice this means that Scotch is spelt without an e, but so too is Welsh whisky.

[Gef]

Apparently Lancashire once had a booming whisky industry - sorry no relevance to original question.
