We’ve covered many a flask over the years here at Lost In a Supermarket, from $500 Wedge-shaped hipflasks to Dunhill Carbon Fiber-Weave Flasks to even Bootlegger Ankle Concealers, but never have we encountered a flask that we want, naye need, to own so desperately. The fine Speyside distillers at The Macallan have teamed up with the […]
