Any gent worth his salt should own a cheeky little whiskey flask – because you truly never know when you might need a stiff drink… 

Hip flasks and whiskey flasks have a fine tradition that every gent should identify with. They’ve been used for centuries, from kings to cowboys, by any chap who needed to round the corners off his day.

They’ve stopped a bullet in many a novel… and they’ve offered respite in shoot-outs, trenches and last chance saloons in countless movies. Whiskey flasks are for anyone who likes a “tipple”, “enjoys a taste” or “sups a sip” in the company of a few boon pals. There’s an intimacy to the whiskey flask, to be shared amongst those few special companions with lips that can be trusted.

So, if you’re sharing around yours amongst those who matter then it’s essential you own a whiskey flask to be proud of. 

Gentry have selected a few finer whiskey flasks on offer… so that when you whip it out, no-one will be disappointed.

This classic English flask from Murdock is a wonderful specimen. Smart and elegant, it's a traditional stainless steel kidney shaped 5 ounce flask, hand covered in beautiful quality Tan English Bridle Leather. It has a captive top for safe keeping. A classic 'must have' for any outdoor pursuits and a great gift.

Timpson offer some of the finest selections of hip and whiskey flasks around, our favourite is this dapper little 4 ounce Victorian hip flask

. Made from pewter, it's a gorgeous little item – perhaps something Watson might have snuck out of his jacket on the blindside of Holmes.

Finally, for something more contemporary, the Mexican flag design on this leather covered 6 ounce stainless steel hip flask is fab in a gaudy kind of way. Less earnest than the others it's fun and… well … it carries more booze than the rest!
