    If you're goal is an UL Bourbon treat it similar to trail food. With food the usual UL focus is on high cal/oz ratios to save on wt while maximizing calories. With UL Bourbon focus on maximizing proof to get the job done by needing less. Or you could find a meadow of cow patties at night and...Never mind.

    There are a few brands that you can get in a resealable aluminum bottle. Mostly Vodkas. But I did see not too long ago a bourbon that came in a gift set with a couple of tumblers and a flask. All aluminum.

    Personally I think single malts or high proof alcohols would taste disgusting in aluminum but I have yet to try it.

    But my favorite bedtime outdoor drink is either my personal hot toddy recipe or "apple jack" which is 4oz whiskey to 1-2oz apple cider. Heat the apple cider till steaming, then add he whiskey. By the time you're done with the 3rd you'll sleep like a baby. Add some nuts as snacks to increase your metabolism throughout the night for cold weather camping.

    I have taken some wine in the past in one of those platy wine bags. Will higher proof alcohol store in one of those? or would it damage them? they don't weight much so very little penalty in weight until you refill.

    Default Which ultralight burbon ??

    When working in the cellar at the winery I work at, we often get various bulk wines shipped to us in plastic bladders (weird, I know). I've never seen any instance of erosion due to alcohol %, just lack of care really. It shouldn't be a problem.

    +1 for the Scotch drinkers...not a bourbon guy.

    This is it...but not very often. Not made of money.

    You can get single barrel Jack Daniels barrel proof, around 130.

    I don't know what part of the Bible Belt you're talking about, but I know that TN & NC aren't backward that way. Except on Sunday maybe for spirits.

    I got a the same Vapur flask and use it for all my high octane beverages; works like charm even at 150proof or more.

    Sunny Brook.... I had a twitching in my left eyelid that I couldn’t solve, and I didn’t dare another visit to the doctor. Cutting coffee did nothing, so I cracked the Sunny Brook. Problem solved, or so far as I can remember. First swig started out smooth, followed by the burn. Secondswig made me check the bottle to make sure I wasn’t drinking Listerine. This one gives you the feel of vomit working its way back up your throat. After that I went for a helper. This is technically a “blended whiskey”, and if you cannot find this brand in your own liquor store, try blending some of the other whiskeys on this list with paint thinner, and you should come close.
